RE: Vipre and deployment
The Uninstallers we create essentially just call the existing AV's built in uninstall process so it should be as effective as uninstalling the other AV through add / remove programs (we grab the uninstall string from the registry and run it) - however that often doesn't work as well as expected. We do add some other code, for example where Symantec is configured to require a password to uninstall it we try to disable that requirement. If you have an existing AV that is centrally managed and the management console has a method to uninstall it centrally which works then I would recommend using that before installing Vipre. This does leave the PC's without AV for a short period of time so it's best to do this when users are out - it requires reboots anyway. After moving to Vipre, if you have something like SMS I would recommend searching for any machines that still have any traces of the old AV's still on them and clean them up manually - we often see old file system drivers still hooked in which can really slow PCs down Regards, Phil Garven - Product Specialist - Sunbelt Exchange Archiver GFI Software, formerly Sunbelt Software www.sunbeltsoftware.comhttp://www.sunbeltsoftware.com Tel: +1 877-757-4094 From: Cameron [mailto:cameron.orl...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 29, 2010 2:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Vipre and deployment Unless the uninstaller has changed, it didn't work very well for us either with Symantec.

Sophos required far too much reconfiguration of the wksts and didnt offer their agent as an MSI so I could roll it out myself. Awaiting info from Kasperksy Can the agents for Vipre be provided by MSIs so I dont have to change anything on the wksts except maybe a port rule between it and the mgmt host after I push it via GPs?

Re: Vipre and deployment
Unless the uninstaller has changed, it didn't work very well for us either with Symantec. It ended up being easier to remove it from each workstation and then push down the Vipre agent.
