How to kill Trend Micro Officescan w/o password

Trend Micro Officescan client requires you to enter password if you want to unload or uninstall the application.

I want to remove it since it is a very bad application since I can not set any exception for its Enterprise Firewall.

This application was installed by our Network Administrator by default on every PC, laptop.

I am surprised to find that it is very easy to kill to process without the need to enter any password.

Run> Enter the following commands one-by-one:

taskkill /F /IM TmListen.exe
taskkill /F /IM PccNTMon.exe
taskkill /F /IM OfcPfwSvc.exe
taskkill /F /IM NTRtScan.exe

  9. No it doesn’t work :( . All it does is kill the PccNTMon.exe process, but none of the other processes. So I guess that it only LOOKS like it works since the icon in the system tray disappears. Very disappointing :(

    It says there’s a registry key that you change and it allows unloading. I tried it and it worked like a champ.

  13. Thanks for the kill commands.
    I will probably create a .bat to do it next time I log into my PC.
    Appreciate the solution without all the bullsh#t that other Google searches turned up like “Why are you trying to kill your virus scan, isn’t it against your company policy… bla bla bla”

  14. FYI:

    Just found this site too.
    This solution might work better because it allows you to change the password to unload or uninstall TrendMicro OfficeScan from your PC:
