• Matt April 20, 2011 at 7:59 pm

  John, Hey, you seem talking about AVG Internet Security (avg.com/us-en/internet-security)? AVG TL (avgthreatlabs.com) is their website offering free website ratings and threat detection.
• Kobe April 14, 2011 at 4:53 pm

  John, I think you are a bit mistaken, AVG Threat Labs is not a product, but a website providing free threat report and website ratings. What you bought is probably a standalone product from AVG.
• Stu April 8, 2011 at 5:13 pm

  John, I’m quite sure you didn’t buy AVG ThreatLabs (avgthreatlabs.com) as that is a site is dedicated to security ratings and is not antivirus software (avg.com/us-en/internet-security). TL is a very useful site which tells you about site threats.
• John March 17, 2011 at 11:21 pm

  Oh, God, thanks a lot for that. I’ve been trying to get rid of that thing for several hours now. I bought the AVG Threat Labs (avgthreatlabs.com) that apparently can scan webpages before you actually access them , which is great for me, since I am an intense internet user, but because of Symantec I could not install it. It kept blocking me. Now my comp is finally free. Thank youuuuuuu
• Vincent Samuel March 15, 2011 at 10:15 am

  I am so dissapointed the key for the antivirus isn’t typing.
• vibin March 5, 2011 at 11:12 pm

  password is symantec :) enjoy
• Ei Ei March 1, 2011 at 5:03 pm

  Thank you so much for your help – although many have said that! I got Symantec installed on my computer when I was in college – but I haven’t been able to install any other antivirus programs because it was still on my computer even though I’m nowhere near that old campus! It’s great how easy you made everything and how helpful you were! Thank you again!

• Dave May 9, 2009 at 11:37 pm

  Yes – worked at second uninstall attempt. Key was:

  HKLM\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security\UseVPUninstallPassword

  I also renamed the value VPUninstallPassword.

  The second Uninstall from the control succeeded.

  Thanks
• Luigi May 6, 2009 at 1:11 pm

  Yo, thanks so very much… I greatly appreciate it, but I have a question if it could possibly be answered… What does the changing of the “UseVPUninstallPassword” the number from 1 to 0 later effect?
• amarnath April 24, 2009 at 9:16 pm

  thanks man it works ..
• Will April 20, 2009 at 12:15 am

  Spot on instructions. Windows Explorer only shows a path to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect

  Perhaps the full path should maybe be included in the description so people wouldnt have to search for it, maybe getting the wrong path and changing something in their registry they shouldnt?

  Just a suggestion, thanks for the help, in all regards.

• Rakesh January 30, 2009 at 5:20 am

  Here is the solution
  There’s an easy way, when password prompt opens, run task manager and END
  task called MSIEXEC that runs under your user account (not system). The password
  go away and uninstall continues

  Hi,
  does not work on my PC. The key is not in the registry, but also when trying to add it manually, I get an error message telling:
  Cannot create key: Error while opening the key AdministratorOnly, althought I am an Administrator and also a local administrator.

  Why is Symantec not fixing this annoying problem!

  This didn\\\’t work for me. Other PC\\\’s in our office accepted the password \\\”symantec\\\” but one doesn\\\’t. Followed the instructions and I get a message about a \\\”Fatal Error\\\”. Tried to delete the entry like someone else above, although it worked for them, it didn\\\’t for me.

  So what to do?
  Great site anyway, I\\\’ll be back!

• yed April 7, 2008 at 1:23 pm

  This worked. Go ahead and try this solution. The uninstall afte the registry change does not even ask for a password again. How does someone find these details out – especially the registray keys and values that needs to be changed, is there a tool to help with this ?

• techboy January 2, 2008 at 10:21 am

  Raymond, you are a genius!
  At first, I changed the numbers that were in VPUninstallPassword to 0, but of course, it didn’t work…
  So I tried again and realised I looked at the value name wrongly… I changed the one specified to 0 and it’s all worked out… I just hope I didn’t wreck anything by the other value I modified.

  I checked my registry, the UseVPUninstallPassword value is already set to 0, but still I can’t uninstall NAV. I took the risk by deleting VPUninstallPassword value, and VOILA… it worked! Thanks for enlightening my way….

  I haven’t been so lucky. I managed to fid the key, the uninstall process didn’t want the password, but the Failed messagebox apeeared and from that time I cannot connect to the network.
  I tried to run Repair installation, but no result.
