Hello -

I am trying to uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection and replace with new AV within SCCM 2012. I have the install application for Symantec and new AV. The Symantec application should have a uninstall switch, however not sure how to double check that with .exe I have for Symantec. I have tried to run uninstall of Symantec with Uninstall.exe however no luck. I have also tried to run a batch file from my desktop with wmic product where "name like 'Symantec Endpoint Protection%'" call uninstall /nointeractive, however no luck.

I am assigned to bring the best end point solution .what parameters should i consider for choosing the solution with respect to cost and features to protect 4000 Users.
if there is any comparison available between different endpoint solution specially comparison with paloalto TRAP ll be really appreciated.

I would like to get opinions on the best antivirus for a small (less than 6 Windows devices) LAN. Thanks for your help.

I noticed there were 2 entries called LogMeIn Rescue RC followed by a string of letters and numbers in my my c drive program files x86. I do not know what that is? is it necessary to keep or can I delete that?

I have a .net Point of Sale system that has been deployed to 100's of users (external clients) for almost 10 years now.  With the recent attacks and strengthening  of Anti Virus systems it seem that some AV's no longer permit my application to run. I have found that adding an exception to the AV allows the application to run.

However, I push out updates to the application almost weekly and that nature of click once when doing updates creates a new directory for the newest version of the software on the destination machine. This then in turn makes the previous exception void. I am having to spend almost over a day providing tech support to clients to re-add the exception. This is not something i can continue week after week and clients are starting to get annoyed by this.

I chose click once for its simplicity but it is now becoming a big issue. I know i can submit the application to be white listed by AV companies, however there are so many out there, this process takes time and the frequency i push out updates it is really not a viable option for me.

Has anybody has to face this issue before? how did you deal with it?

Not sure if my problem is self inflicted?

I use Avira anti virus.  Additional tools include Avira system speed-up, which optimises 'boot-up-speed/time'

Recently, I booted-up my latop and the avira optimiser appeared. I pressed ok, then made a coffee. Returning I noticed the optimiser was
still running?  stating that 'files were being 'repositioned' to minimise boot-up times'  Never seen this option before, but there was no way of cancelling this action.
I decided to re-boot, unsure of the impact.  On re-boot windows listed -  'critical' updates will be installed.

Opening file explorer I saw 'quick access' which I never use. Also my personal folder - as in 'Roberts Folder' was missing?
I re-set  to 'This PC' which I prefer, and again could not locate my personal folder?

I found my folder located in; Windows - Users.      

'Now I get confused'  ---  This PC - documents, has the same folders as my 'Personal-folder'  a carbon copy?

But the folders in 'My Folder - Users'  contain the most recent 'updated information'

I would like to retreive/ relocate 'My Folder' from 'Users'  to 'This PC'  prefering not to use 'Documents' for my business files.

Questions;  1)  Is the problem through Avira system speed-up?  (Tried restore points - no difference)

                     2)  Is this the Windows 10 layout - Have to live with it...

                    3)  Can I rectify this problem?  -  I could delete files in my documents, copy-paste from My …

Can we create group of endpoints and can we assign policies to that group in trend deep security?

Hi all.
I need guidance/ assistance in if anyone has done a similar project? Rolling out kaspersky and uninstalling sophos..
We have around 900 workstations and 100 servers (VMs)...anyone has done a project plan Project plan ..risks...dependencies plan?

I have two Windows 10 Lenovo laptops that are both infected with malware, spyware, adware, and viruses.

I have removed these hard drives and have connected them as secondary hard drives to another Windows 10 desktop.

Currently I'm scanning the infected drives with Malwarebytes, Symantec Antivirus, and Windows Defender.

What other scans or repairs can I run on these infected hard drives to hopefully remove all malware, spyware, and viruses?

For example what other utilities or programs can be run and what Windows utilities or tools such as SFC and DISM can be used?

Hi Guys,

does anyone know how i put an IP exception in our Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager?

i can see guides on the support site for SEP but nothing that specifically relates to an IP address exception. I cant see any obvious options for it and i have no prior experience with the console.

does it go under Policies > Firewall?

the reason for the request is we have Spiceworks on the LAN and it is causing warning messages to pop up on users PC's as SEP keeps blocking it. need to put an exception in for the spiceworks server.

The formerly known as Sentinel & now named as EPT is a forensics &
anti-malicious activities (process & memory scans) product.

Anyone (esp those who have used / assessed it) care to share reviews on it:
a) how easy to use & accurate/thorough is its forensics
b) does it have predictive capabilities of malicious behaviors
c) how does it compare with competing products?
d) does it deal with apps vulnerabilties like injections & XSS ?
e) it was supposed to deal with APT (Advanced Persistent Threats):
    does it deal with 0-day (signatureless?) malwares ?

Are there any free options?
