LicMgrEp is this part of norton, is this safe

Everytime I open a new tab, or just get on the web I gat this popup message "a website wants to open web content using this program on your computer"  Name:  LicMgrEp      Publisher: StrikeForce Technologies Inc. We have been hitting "don't allow" because I'm not sure where this came from. Is it part of Secrurity Suite? I have looked it up and all I can really be sure of is that its an encrypted software. I just need it in plain english if its safe, or not. And do I need to do anything to gat rid of it, if it's not safe. Thanks.

LicMgrEp is rated safe and in fact part of Guarded ID, which is a component of the Constant Guard Protection Suite.  It is not part of Norton.  CGPS has been causing various situations on many customers systems.  Our volunteers have been recommending the total removal of CGPS and all of it's components, which would include, ID Vault, Constant Guard Protection Suite, Guarded ID, Comcst/Xfinity Tolbar and CA Pest Patrol realtime.  All of this removal will leave Norton Security Suite in tact.

 

Please keep us posted as to your results.

Re: LicMgrEp is this part of norton, is this safe

I also recieved a phone call from comcast stating the comcastantispyware program part of this suite does have known issues and until the bugs are fixed, it was recommended to uninstall. They actually called to tell me how but I had already followed the steps above.

 

Not necessary and works without it. Just make sure each are uninstalled and check your programs (or programs x86) file for comcasttb if you want to remove the antispyware. The antispyware is inside comcasttb folder and offers an uninstall.

Re: LicMgrEp is this part of norton, is this safe

It is  20 May 2012 - installed CPG and the Norton anti-virus suite from the Comcast website.

 

I want to find out more about LicMgrEP. Have any, most, or none of the "issues" been cleared up?

Comcast's security suite re-instillation came close to breaking my leg if I did not inistall the CGP suite before I  installed the Norton anti-virus suite.

 

The write up for CGP on the Comcast website makes CGP sound like a must have. I think not since its warning pops up every time that I have tried to open a new website.

 

What is the official word?

As I stated above:  LicMgrEp is rated safe and in fact part of Guarded ID, which is a component of the Constant Guard Protection Suite.  It is not part of Norton.  Any more information on it really needs to be supplied y CGPS_Support who has been answering most qustion on CGPS recently.

In order to download Norton by itself simpkly click on the No Thanks Button on the CGPS popup here and the Get It Now button will appear and that will start the NSS download - without any of the CGPS .

 

What is the official word?

 

Let's see what Comcast employees say - they are the ones with the red user names.  Most of the folks on here are customers as you are who volunteer their time and knowledge to assist other customers - but nothing we say is considered "official".

Re: LicMgrEp is this part of norton, is this safe

Hello -

 

LicMgrEp IS the executable for GuardedID which is an anti-keylogging application installed at the same time as Constant Guard Protection Suite. Although it is installed WITH CGPS, it is not part of that installer application, and so can be disabled through the Constant Guard Protection Suite, or by disabling services, and can be removed separately without removing any other component of Constant Guard Protection Suite. It IS safe, but - To DISABLE it - go to the Constant Guard Protection Suite dashboard by clicking on the red CG logo in the desktop system tray click on Options, and click to "configure" the anti-keylogging. Once there, just turn it off. You can also remove it by going to your Control Panel to Programs/Features (Vista/7) or Add/Remove Software (XP). Find GuardedID or GIDD in the programs list, click on it to highlight it.  Click to Uninstall/Remove. RESTART the computer.

 

As far as "...its warning pops up every time that I have tried to open a new website,..." I'm a little confused. We will prompt asking if you wish to add a website to the secure accounts list IF you open a site which has fields to enter your credentials, such as a User Name and Password. If you click on a field - you will be prompted to add the account.

 

If you have our software installed and then log into a financial site which is in our list of financial sites and we DO NOT recognize the IP address of the bank you are going to, we will prompt you with a warning regarding accessing the site. So my question becomes, "What warning pops up every time you try to open a website?"

 

If you are speaking about the LicMgrEp warning - then it is not an issue. It is safe, and you are being prompted by your operating system, not by us. Again, I do not know what the warning is you are referencing or if it is being generated by Constant Guard, Norton, xFinity, or your operating system. You'd have to include the warning and tell us if there is a brand or product name associated.

Hi dbarton44,

 

Yourquestion has already been answered in the previous posts in this thread - please read the other posts.

 

Bottomline - it is safe and not part of Norton.

Re: LicMgrEp is this part of norton, is this safe

I understand what this is related to and now how to uninstall if I want.  You just act surprised when it was stated that this message pops up everytime a person goes to a new website.  Well it does.  Maybe you meant it to run silently in the background, but if the right settings are in Internet Explorer, it can be quite surprising what pops up.  Anyway,it would be much easier to show the message that pops up if you allowed a screen print on this site.  The text is accurate from the other two postings trying to explain it.

Re: LicMgrEp is this part of norton, is this safe

The most annoying thing about this popup is that no matter how many times you check the box not to show this message again, it doesn't matter - it keeps showing up.  I have found that in most cases when you double click a link instead of a single click, the popup does not show.  Don't know why that would be but this thing is a real pain either way.  They should pull this "suite" until they get the bug corrected.

I also noticed one "financial account" and six "other accounts" listed when I opened the Constant Guard suite, but I didn't set any of those up.  How does that happen??

How to remove LicMgrEp (bothersome pop-up)

The LicMgrEP.exe is part of the Constant Guard Protection Suite that comes with Xfinity/Comcast internet service.

 

To get rid of this bothersome pop-up (LicMgrEP - Strikeforce Technologies), go to Control Panel, the to Uninstall Programs, then select Constant Guard Protection Suite (CGPS), the click Uninstall, then OK the uninstall when a warning window comes up.  After the CGPS is uninstalled, you will have to reboot your PC for the program to be completely removed.

 

This uninstall od software will not allow you to use GCPS any more on your PC; however, it does not affect Norton Security Suite - your computer is still protected by Norton Security Suite.  Although CGPS offers some extra protection, it is really not needed if you have 64 bit encryption (Win 7 OS) and use strong passwords. I found that CGPS is more of a hindrance/hassle than a help/extra protection.
