How Do I Remove Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) From a Mac?
Carthage College no longer uses or provides Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP). What's the best way to remove SEP from a Mac?
Answer
Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) misbehaves during OS upgrades (viewing changes that the OS is making to itself as suspicious & slowing everything down as it attempts to scan all changes for viruses), & this misbehavior continues after the installation. SEP is the primary culprit for a Mac suddenly slowing down, overheating, & fans spinning up.
To uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection, follow the instructions on Symantec's parent corporation's website: Remove Symantec software for Mac using RemoveSymantecMacFiles
