SAV without supplying a password

When removing Symantec antivirus 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\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security

- 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[See pic below]
