Gfi Agent Removal Tool



This tool will help you to remove almost any antivirus software previously installed on your system. When trying to uninstall a GFI EndPointSecurity agent from a remote machine, the following message is displayed: Agent pending uninstall ENVIRONMENT. GFI EndPointSecurity agents are not uninstalled automatically during the un-installation of the GFI EndPointSecurity application. It is best that first you uninstall the GFI EndPointSecurity agents and next the GFI EndPointSecurity application.

From time to time, circumstances may require the removal of VIPRE without the assistance of the Windows Installer. Should an instance requiring this removal be encountered, the instructions below outline the process.
Ensure you have attempted to uninstall the Agent through Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features.
If this fails, run the following in an Elevated Command Prompt (Depending on the installed Version):

MsiExec.exe /x {GUID} /qf /l*v '%temp%VIPRE_MsiUninstall.log' REMOVE=ALL
