[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1082609, member: 32260"] This cannot be done without informing the user about the AV uninstallation. Microsoft and the AV vendors provided special protections to prevent the malware running with high privileges from tampering with some services and drivers. As it can be seen those protections can be bypassed. In the case of Symantec Endpoint Protection, I invalidated 5 drivers, but the user and AV show only a general error. The user still does not know what happened. Is it a temporary error with services? Is it a conflict with the Windows Update? There is no sign of malicious actions. [/QUOTE]
