Remove Symantec LiveUpdate

(imported topic written by nberger91)

Does anyone have a better way to remove LiveUpdate, this works (sometimnes), but often hangs leaving the action set to ‘Running’ … is there a ‘dirtier’ way to remove it or am i missing something ?

wait taskkill.exe /IM “luall.exe” /T /F

if {exists key whose (value “DisplayName” of it as string contains “LiveUpdate” of it and value “UninstallString” of it as string contains “Symantec”) of key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” of registry}

waithidden {value “UninstallString” of key whose (value “DisplayName” of it as string contains “LiveUpdate” of it and value “UninstallString” of it as string contains “Symantec”) of key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” of registry}

endif

wait taskkill.exe /IM “LSETUP.exe” /T /F
