How can I uninstall Symantec VIP Access Client?

Hi,
Soon after getting my new Thinkpad E520 (W7 Home Premium), I uninstalled Norton Antivirus Trial and installed Microsoft Security Essentials.
But there remains in the Program Files (x86) Folder a Symantec/VIP Access Client program that pops up request for updates.
It doesn't show in  Add/Remove programs. I would like to know what this program is supposed to do.
After searching on the web, I downloaded and ran Norton Removal Tool, but VIP Access Client is still there.
Of course, I could trash the folder and scan the registry to delete as many entries as I can, but I would like to find a more elegant solution ;-)
Solved!

  • How can I uninstall a long-ago expired Adobe XI (11.0.06) trial?  During the trial, Ver XI installed itself as my "default", which is still making it difficult for me to access the Adobe X (10.1.10) that I previously purchased.

    How can I uninstall a long-ago expired Adobe XI (11.0.06) trial?  During the trial, Ver XI installed itself as my "default", which is still making it difficult for me to access the Adobe X (10.1.10) that I previously purchased.

    Thanks for your help.  I cannot open the application (Acrobat XI) because I did not buy it.  Every time I want to open a .pdf, I have to remember to take the extra step of going to "open with" and then select "Acrobat X".  When I forget to do that, the XI "default" opens a window that gives me another chance to buy XI -- that's what I want to get rid of.  Another approach (perhaps?) would be to change to default setting from "Adobe XI" to Adobe X"  (the way it was before I tried the XI trial).  But I don't know how to do that.

    RealPlayer can cause conflicts with Flash Player because it tries to assign EVERY TYPE of video or audio file to itself by default. I haven't used RealPlayer in years for that reason. It's an unnecessary program anymore. There are apps loike VLC media player that cna do EVERYTHING it does without conflicting with other apps like Flash Player.
    With WIndows 8, Microsoft began embedding FlashPlayer themselves into Internet Explorer. Because of that, you cannot download and install it from here. You cannot uninstall it from Internet Explorer without removing a specific Windows Update first. And you cannot update it via this website. ONLY through Windows Update can Flash Player for Internet Explorer be updated.
    That said, you probably DON'T have a virus that's causing the problems with Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Many, many websites are not "recognizing" the browser.
    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released IE11 The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player.
    So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to MT.  How can I get it to work, or, how can I uninstall MT?

    My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  How can I get it to work again, or, how can I uninstall MT?

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

    How can i add an administrator access so the admin can edit his webpage on the web browser?

    A content management system or CMS is software usually on the server that allows client's to log-in and edit content from any web browser with an internet connection.  These web pages are typically built with server-side programming (PHP) and databases (MySql). 
    CMSs come big and small.  The right one for your project depends on
         a) your programming skills,
         b) project requirements,
         c) budget.

  • How Can I Uninstall Thinkvantage Password Manager?

    How can I uninstall or disable this without compromising my fingerprint reader?
    Failing that, how can I remove an application so Password Manager no longer tries to "help" me with its password?

    I've just upgraded to Windows 7, and I've yet to activate the Client Security software, so I can't be specific on what may have changed from Vista.
    In the Vista version of Password Manager, I recall there was an "Options" or "preferences" item in the menu bar of the program. Within the options then displayed, it was possible to switch off the manager's recognition of Windows programs' password entry, or for internet browsers' password entry, and maybe one or two other classes of programs. So in your case, switching off recognition of all Windows programs might do it.
    Oh, one more thing: I'm pretty sure both Password Manager and the Fingerprint Manager are dependant on the Client Security Solution (CSS) software package installation, since the latter contains the bits and pieces of the framework that connects them all together with the "Trusted Platform Module"  (TPM), the hardware encryption device that's soldered onto the main board of the notebook, as well as the biometric hardware.
    Since the CSS has these dependencies (while using the TPM drivers provided in Windows), it's really an all-or-nothing proposition: either you use it, or you switch entirely to another security suite solution vendor such as UPEK, who will use their own security framework, password manager, and fingerprint software.
    Windows 7 is significantly more flexible than Vista here: for instance the UPEK security suite uses the "Windows 7 Biometric Device Framework", meaning that any hardware device with drivers for that framework will work "out of the box" with the UPEK security suite, while Vista still depends on manufacturer's device driver kits--e.g. with Vista, the UPEK suite will only support UPEK fingerprint hardware, not the Authentec devices installed on some Thinkpads.

  • How can I uninstall yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programs

    How can I uninstall Yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programsThis had been the worst os system apple has come out, too many errors
    too many to list.
    a few
    Losing all mail. and watching them disappear in front of my eyes and could nothing about it
    also when accessing cloud the screen just rolls in when accessing mail, like loading and loading and loading for 1 to 2 minuets.
    I did not up grade my Mac Book Pro, and is working fine,
    Just my iMac, its act kile avid card and it only happens access iCloud mail.
    so I want to and need to go back to Loin

    You can't unless you have a current backup of your old Lion system because the first thing you must do is erase the drive. It 's possible to use Target Disk Mode between your iMac and the MBP in order to clone the MBP to the iMac. However, that will still erase everything on the iMac's drive.
    Or you could see about getting Yosemite to work correctly. If you have IMAP mail, then your mail should be intact.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

    hmmm, CTS = cutomizing transport?
    If you have a customizing table, there are still two possibilities.
    1. customize in DEV system and transport
    2. customize right there where you need it.
    this depends on how the maintainance view is built. If it is a simple customizing table and you get not asked for a TR when customizing a new record or changing an existing one, you hit possibility 2.

        DIVAB71,
    Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

  • How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

    There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
    large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
    end of the burned DVD.
    In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
    end of burned projects.
    This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
    I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
    work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
    Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
    but the system will not let me.
    Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
    components and install iLife '06?
    Thanks

    I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

  • How can I uninstall my Photoshop CS 3 from my Mac, without an uninstaller?

    How can I uninstall my Photoshop CS3 from my Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?   It has never opened, since I increased the Mac's capacity to 2 TB.  Now I want to throw the Photoshop CS3 away and get a brand new Photoshop CS5.    There does not seem to be an uninstaller anywhere to be found.  Adobe spent an hour and a half on the phone with me and could not find a work-around.   We tried to reinstall the CS3 from the disk, but the installations failed. 
    An earlier Photoshop CS2 is also on the computer and needs to be uninstalled. 
    Is there a way to rescue my computer and put the new Photoshop on it?

    You need to manually delete the caps.db (somewehre in the Library:Application Support:Adobe folder) and then you can trash the program folders. Without an existing caps.db, a new one wil lbe created from scratch and al linstalls should run as if there never was anything on the system just as conversely you should not have trouble simply deleting the old versions...
