Where it started
Recently I installed this software, and then after some time, I found out that this software is deleting all my files without even asking any permission. Sometimes it will ask and even after I give the "Ignore threat" command option on the popup it keeps on deleting them later.
I got tired of this app, and I tried uninstalling it; then a new problem arose i.e., It keeps on asking for an uninstall password. I tried putting in many passwords and even my personal ones. I searched for a perfect solution on Google to uninstall this. Then I found out that all of the results were fake and some won't work due to some registry key errors.
Then I went to their official site and found out the solution which worked for me, and that is...
SOLUTION
- Close all other applications.
- Download this software. (official clean wipe software from Symantec)
- It'll be a zip file, unzip & install it on your device. (will be installed in Symantec folder)
- Open the software and read out the checkboxes.
- Tic needed ones and give continue.
- After removing it'll ask for a reboot. (do it)
- After rebooting you won't see Symantec on your PC. (sometimes you'll see a Symantec endpoint protection icon when you search it for on your Cortana search on Windows. This is because of the cache file stored. It will be deleted automatically after some time)
There is no need that you should follow this order. Just make sure you did all of them correctly for a perfect uninstallation.
"Happy Uninstalling"
