ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Most Symantec/Norton software is notoriously difficult to uninstall. You have to obtain some special uninstaller software from Symantec to get most of their crapware removed from your computer.Hopefully someone here knows from where you can download it, without having to spend hours on the phone with their support.

LARRYjr Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 OH lordy You serious would it just be faster to just reinstall it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I am not one to rush people to reinstall. How about restore from your last backup?Or just wait; someone may have the download location for the de-nortification software.... maybe here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...005033108162039What exactly was your Norton software?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 And you shouldn't just uninstall anti-virus software without a replacement. Even Norton is better than nothing, but there are free anti-virus softwares that are better than Norton. But make sure that Norton is fully uninstalled before you install anything else.

Scarecrow Man Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Use this if you have Norton 5.0/2000/2001/2002 or 2003 - http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sunse...src=bar_sch_namIf you also have Norton Internet Security, please follow this AFTER using the above tool - http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.n...5256ee600549628The procedure is a bit different if you have 2004, 2005 or 2006.
