how to uninstall symantec Endpoint Protection from windows 7 laptop

I am having issues uninstalling Symantec Endpoint Protection Client. Each time I tried to uninstall it, it just rolled back.
Finally Here is what helped me: youhave to uncheck Protect Symantec security software from being tampered with or shutdown: After this, go to control panel->programs and features and click symantec to uninstall. then restart.
To allow Symantec Endpoint Protection services to be configured
  1. Right-click the Symantec Endpoint Protection icon in the lower right corner of the screen, and click Open Symantec Endpoint Protection.
  2. In the left pane, click Change Settings.
  3. In the right pane, click Client Management Configure Settings.
  4. On the Tamper Protection tab, uncheck Protect Symantec security software from being tampered with or shut down.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Close Symantec Endpoint Protection.
