Remove Thomas College Software From Your Computer

If you are graduating or otherwise leaving the College, you may need to remove software that was installed on your computer and licensed for your use while you were a student at Thomas. Please review the list of software packages below:

  1. Forefront Client Security
    Remove Microsoft Forefront Client Security from your computer. The College licenses Microsoft Forefront Client Security only for current students. We recommend that you purchase and install your own antivirus software on your computer. To remove Forefront from your computer, Click Start, Control Panel, Add Remove Programs, select Microsoft Forefront Client Security from the list of installed software, and click Remove. When finished, you will need to restart your computer.


  2. Windows Update Service - WSUS
    Revert back to Microsoft Windows Update Server. If you are using Windows XP or Vista, your computer was configured to connect to the Thomas WSUS server to receive Windows Updates notifications and download updates. To reverse this change, you will need to click here and run this application. (Click Open, and/or Run to run the script.) This must be done to continue receiving product updates from Microsoft.


  3. Microsoft Network Access Protection - NAP
    Revert back to the default Microsoft NAP settings. If you are using Windows XP or Vista, your computer was configured with NAP configuration settings to access the Thomas network. To reverse this change, you will need to click here and run this application. (Click Open, and/or Run to run the script.)


  4. Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM, formerlly SMS)
    Remove SCCM from your computer by going to Control Panel, then Add/Remove programs. To remove SMS from your computer, you will need to click here and run this application.
