Uninstall Symantec System Recovery 2013 from PC

In the past to remove Norton Ghost completely from your PC, you may additionally need to use Norton Removal Tool. Is there a similiar tool to remove Symantec System Recovery2013 from a Win 8.1 PC?

  • Hi, Bsod again

    And the vtrack.sys is already here

     

    On Mon 08/09/2014 20:47:19 GMT your computer crashed
    crash dump file: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
    This was probably caused by the following module: vtrack.sys (VTrack+0x2DDF8)
    Bugcheck code: 0xFC (0xFFFFF8A00B551D60, 0xA3E00002F9CBB963, 0xFFFFF88002376E30, 0x2)
    Error: ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY
    file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\vtrack.sys
    product: Symantec™ System Recovery
    company: Symantec
    description: Symantec Filter Driver for tracking changed block(s).
    Bug check description: This indicates that an attempt was made to execute non-executable memory.
    This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules. There is a possibility this problem was caused by a virus or other malware.
    A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: vtrack.sys (Symantec Filter Driver for tracking changed block(s)., Symantec).

    I'm searching now for conflicts with other apps:

    There is veeam backup installed on the hyperv, the backup job of 2 VMs start at 22:00 and finished with success.

    I think only one VM in the plan cause this bug with ssr2013 or the vtrack.sys driver, because when this VM was in a separate veeam backup job (one vm at 22:00 and the VM i suspect at 24:00), the bsod appeared a few minutes after the last backup job succeed.

    Now the two VMs are in the same Veeam job and the bsod appears a few minutes after this job succeed.

    Then i found that volume shadow copies of VMs would cause problems on hyperv

    i disabled it on this VM, there is no VSS enabled on the other VM...

    We will see tomorrow ...

     

  • "Running" no, ssr2013 didn't worked, i couldn't start it, and i couldn't uninstall it.

    The "dirty uninstall" by symantec support don't solve the problem (service already registered, files and registry keys deleted by hand and symantec driver vtrack.sys not uninstalled)

    I found a solution: i have disabled all VSS on one VM

    Finally, Veeam backup succeed and no bsod with vtrack.sys driver...

    For ssr2013 + Veeam:The symantec support told me that we just have to verify that the backup jobs don't start at the same time.

    Thank you
