Uninstalling the client from the web console

Important: Uninstalling the client program also removes security risk protection on selected clients. Please do the following: 1. Log on to the OfficeScan web console. 2. Go to Networked Computers > Client Management. 3. In the client tree, select the clients that you want to uninstall OfficeScan from and then click Tasks > Client Uninstallation. 4. On the Client Uninstallation screen, click Initiate Uninstallation. The server then sends a notification to the clients. 5. Check the notification status and verify if there are clients that did not receive the notification. o Click Select Un-notified Computers and then Initiate Uninstallation to immediately resend the notification to the clients. o Click Stop Uninstallation to prompt OfficeScan to stop notifying clients. Clients which are already notified and performing uninstallation will ignore this command.

Running the Client Uninstallation Program

If you granted users the privilege to uninstall the client program, ask them to run the client uninstallation program from their computers. This procedure requires users to specify the uninstallation password. Make sure that you share the password only to users who will run the uninstallation program and change it immediately has it been divulged to other users. You can also disable the password on computers where the client will be uninstalled. Please do the following: 1. On the Windows Start menu, perform any of the two options: o Go to Programs > Trend Micro OfficeScan Client > Uninstall OfficeScan Client. o Click Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, look for Trend Micro OfficeScan Client, and then click Change. Follow the on-screen instruction to finish the uninstallation. 2. If prompted, type the uninstallation password. OfficeScan will notify you of the progress and completion. You do not need to restart the client computer to complete the uninstallation. Note: Request the OfficeScan client uninstallation password from the OfficeScan Administrator. In case the password had been changed or is not documented at all, please proceed to the manual removal method written below.

Manually Uninstalling the Client

Perform manual uninstallation only if you encountered issues when uninstalling from the web console or after running the uninstallation program.

Please do the following: 1. Log on to the client computer using an account with Administrator privileges. 2. Right-click on the OfficeScan client icon on the system tray and then select Unload Officescan. If prompted for a password, specify the unload password and then click OK. Note: You can disable the password on computers where the client will be unloaded. For details, see Client Privileges and Other Settings on pages 4-9 of the Administrator's Guide.
