Once you kill the process, the password prompt disappears and the uninstall continues!! After removing the program, my computer CPU usage dropped to a normal 2%. The picture above is actually from Process Explorer, not Task Manager, but it will have the same name there also. Now find the msiexec.exe process and kill it! When the password prompt comes up, go into Task Manager by pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL and choosing Task Manager, then click on the Processes tab. Anyway, if you are in a similar situation where you dont know the password to uninstall Endpoint Protection, then youll be happy to know of a quick way to bypass the password and still uninstall the program. I tried to uncheck the services and startup programs for it using MSCONFIG to no avail.įinally, I tried to uninstall it and I couldnt even do that! The program was password protected so that no sane human being could uninstall the crap! I understand that the password is there to prevent employees from uninstalling it, but if you cant do any work because your computer is unbearably slow, then it should at least allow the uninstall and notify the administrator.
