Re: Replacement for Symantec Protection Agent?

As a condition for accessing my employer's network from home, I had to
have approved anti-virus and firewall apps installed on my home PCs.

They gave out copies of Symantec AntiVirus and Symantec Protection
Agent, but I'm changing jobs and the SPA wants to talk to an update
server on my current employer's network from time to time and I won't
have access to it any more.

If you still have the installation package, Symantec Endpoint can be
installed as an unmanaged client, in which case it gets updates from
an internet server.

I'm not sure if it can be reconfigured once installed. You might want
to look though.

Though, symantec keeps changing names of things at every rev, so I'm
not sure how old your package is.
