In order to solve the issue, launch the application, click the LiveUpdate button and update it following the provided instructions. If it doesn't work, download the update package and install it manually over the current version of the program. After that, right-click the Taskbar and click Customize below the Notification area. Locate the Symantec Endpoint Protection icon and select the Show icon and notifications option from Behaviors list.

Answer by Dan Angel

In order to uninstall the utility from your computer I suggest you follow the instructions provided by the Support team. If you have problems, try using rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="http://revo-uninstaller.software.informer.com/">Revo Uninstaller. Even if it can't uninstall the application normally, it will force it to uninstall by wiping out all traces of its presence from the system.


After that, try running AdwCleaner to make sure that there are no leftover rogue registry keys or toolbars in your system.
