Re: Automated/Scripted UnInstall of Symantec AV

I think Symantec supplies an uninstaller if you contact their support.  It
might be intended to prepare you to install SEP 11, so it might not
uninstall SEP 11.  It's worth a phone call to check.

Subject: [SECURITY] Automated/Scripted UnInstall of Symantec AV

Folks -

I know it has been discussed before but I am looking for some assistance on
the automated removal of SAV 7,8,9,10 and endpoint.  We are dumping SAV and
our internal groups are telling me that there is no automated or scripted
way to remove all versions of SAV and install Forefront.  They want to visit
every PC, I would prefer not to have to go that route.  I have to believe
there are some scripts out there to help with this.

Any insight would be appreciated,

Ian Lazerwitz
