The computer I have was pre-owned and I have symantec Antivirus on here that I want to remove because it uses to much of my RAM up. Every time I try to un-install it it says i need an un-install password to un-install it. But, I dont have it because the computer was pre-owned. How do I get rid of this.
Answer:
When removing Symantec anti virus you often need to supply a password for the uninstall to run. This can be a very big pain if you've forgotten the password or if the original install was done by an administrator that has long since left. As usual, there is a work around. Here's how to remove SAV without supplying a password:
- Press Windows Key R (This brings up the run dialog box)
- Type regedit and press Enter (This will open the Registry editor)
- Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\LANDes…
- Look for a DWORD value called UseVPUninstallPassword. Once you find it, double click it.
- Change the value of UseVPUninstallPassword to 0 (zero) and click OK
- You can now close the Registry Editor window
- We're done! You will now be able to uninstall Symantec anti virus without the annoying password request!
As in all registry editing please use caution
