F5 SSL VPN works best with Checkpoint's SecuRemote removed. (Note: If you need to access Emory Healthcare services via remote access, then you may need Checkpoint's SecuRemote program and should not remove it.) For those users who do not need access to Emory Healthcare services via remote access, to remove SecuRemote, go to Start Control Panel and double-click Add or Remove Programs. Highlight the Checkpoint SecuRemote program, select Change/Remove, and follow the on-screen instructions.
