Removing Stubborn AV Asking for Password
LockedI brought my work PC home with me to use since I moved far enough away not to walk into that forsakken place. Anyway, I am trying to remove the old Symantec Corporate Anti Virus program that was installed via the network. I can not uninstall it because it is asking for an uninstall password. The network administrator who set this up is long gone. No one knows what the password is. THIS PC IS NO LONGER ON THAT NETWORK! I have tried deleting registry entires that say “Symantec” but I still can not get rid of it. Also, because of my cleaning attemps, ANYTHING I do on that PC, like open up Explorer, it keeps wanting to reinstall itself and I have to cancel the dialog box that keeps coming up.
How can I rid this program once and for all on XP SP2 without reloading the drive?
Thank you.
