SBC does not sell a home computer security system where you install it yourself. I didn't think so when I read your question, (SBC was my first ISP) so I went to their website, which happens to have merged into AT%26T now, and there is nothing on that site selling a security software package.
Now, I do know that SBC had a browser type of security, which was used in the web based email program they provided customers. However, it was not something which came on a disk as a stand alone product.
As such, you don't uninstall this type of security, as it isn't even on your computer, but is rather on the AT%26T Servers.
Just as the Yahoo! free and Plus email services uses Norton for its browser mail program security. When you download email the Server installed security first scans it. When you click to download an attachment, then Norton scans the download first, then tells you if it is infected or not, and if it isn't, you are next presented with a download window, which then turns into an Open/Save window, where you can either view it without saving it, or you can download it to your hard drive and then view it whenever you please.
Don't worry about these types of security as they are not on your hard drive. I think the disk you have is your modem software install disk. When you hooked up your modem you ran the install disk right?
Feel free to install other local security software on your system. As what you refer to is Server based, what you install doesn't run the risk of incompatibility so you won't have system instability, lack of proper protection, or crashes, as yo would if you left another Vendor's product on your system and install a different Vendor's solution.
If I am mistaken, I apologize.
Please have a good evening and happy holiday season.
