I appreciated being able to find the fix you posted for removing password protected symantec av client. I am trying to install a newer version of norton on a relative's computer, which was a hand me down work computer that came with the NAV Client as well as pcAnywhere 9. I went through the process you described, and it seemed to work like a charm. As I was installing the newer version though, it went through all the motions, then got to the end of the process to find that it wouldn't install due to the pcAnywhere. I tried the symantec removal tool only to be asked to remove pcA manually. When I went to do that through the add/remove field, I was asked for the source disk. Since this is a hand me down, I don't have access to that. Would you be so inclined to provide another 'magic' fix like the first one? Thanks a bunch for the time! Jacki Hi Jeff.

This way you will have the source media and it should upgrade or overwrite all of the existing entries made by the previous installation. THEN, you should be able to complete an uninstall of PCAnywhere since you will have the source media downloaded already. Make sense? You might also consider disabling the services for PCAnywhere to see if it is just a conflict with it running as opposed to being installed. Let me know how you make out! Jacki,

The server that hosted that anti-virus software was dead for over two years, and we had disabled the Symantec Corporate Edition clients but been unable to remove them. Your tip made life a little easier. Thanks again, Mike Jeff,
