Upon graduation the AntiVirus program (Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition [SAV]), which the College required, may be removed from your computer.

To remove SAV:
  1. Preferred - Uninstaller
    1. At your desktop, double click your Macintosh HD, or  local hard-drive.
    2. Under Places, navigate to your Applications Folder.
    3. Scroll down until you find the folder titled "Symantec Solutions" and double-click it.
    4. Then, double-click on "Symantec Uninstaller".
    5. At the prompt questioning what products you would like to uninstall, check Symantec AntiVirus Corporate, and Norton AntiVirus (which should also automatically select Auto-Protect).
    6. Once all are checked, press the Uninstall button.
    7. When prompted about deleting the software, proceed by clicking Uninstall again.
    8. Mac OS X will ask for an administrator's password.  Verify the username and enter your local machine's account password, if you have one.
