This whole process didn’t clean every computer completely, with some users having residual system files, but it stopped any conflict and removed enough of Symantec that it didn’t load any services or software on start up. ![]() In addition to this, I had to lever TrendMicros feature that removes previous anti viruses when the agent is installed, installing the agent standalone kept returning me with an error that SEP was still installed, even though Symantec’s portal couldn’t even detect the agent.
