Hi there,

does anyone know how to uninstall Trend Micro Officescan Client? I'm prompted to enter a password, but have no idea what it is!

I would ask Trend Micro. You can email their tech support or phone them.

I had the same problem because it was a Corporate edition. Follow these steps, it worked for me.

To remove / reset the uninstall password for Trend Micro OfficeScan

Edit Ofcscan.ini file. (Do a search.)

On Windows.95/98/XP machines it is usually in C:\Windows\Ofcscan.ini

On Windows.NT/2K machines it is usually in C:\WINNT\Ofcscan.ini

Open the Ofcscan.ini file using notepad search for the [INI_CLIENT_SECTION]

Find the line reading Uninstall_Pwd= and type a # at the beginning of the line to comment it out.

Insert a new line saying Uninstall_Pwd=70

Save the Ofcscan.ini file and retry the uninstall. When it prompts you for a password, enter a '1'.

Good Luck!
