Symantec Endpoint Protection is a suite of security modules that are used inside large corporate networks to provide protection against zero-day threats, malware, trojans and any unsecure items that might cause damage to network. The software/platform is created to have full control of the files that are accessed on a network with layers of security and execution prevention. To understand better, Symantec Endpoint Protection is like a big antivirus program for a whole company. It has management, permission control, firewall, security on layers, etc.
Can someone explain me how to uninstall this anti-virus software?

To uninstall this software you can go to Start > Control Panel > Add\Remove programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows 7), select the program that you want to remove and click Uninstall. Also you can use CCleaner or Revo Uninstaller to remove any program that is installed on your computer.
The scan feature is not available and the Symatec icon doesn't appear in the task bar. Can you help?

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.

It tells me that I need Windows Service Pack in order to uninstall Symantec antivirus. I don't have this package. How can I remove the antivirus?
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.
