"This update is restricted" error when upgrading my system to High Sierra

I uninstalled Symantec from my work computer about a year ago but now that I am trying to upgrade it to High Sierra, I get this blocker:

This update is restricted. Please install Symantec 14.0.3897.1101 before upgrading — OK

How do I get rid of this?
