It’s been a few years, so I’m not 100% sure that Symantec was password protected.

You can no longer run it silently though :(. Some competing AV vendors have ways of removing it as well....

Wondering if anyone knows how to or has come across a blog which goes through how to remove a password protected instance of Symantec Anti-Virus? I have a situation where some workstations were disjoined and re-joined to a domain rather than being rebuilt with a new image. Having some difficulty getting Symantec AV off the OS.
