Curse of Norton strikes again

[Sue Dyer]

Nah, I'm fine. I'd been out to the quiz, had a drink and got annoyed further at Norton. How sad...!!

I am hanging out for Vista for a new laptop. My other one is lying under the coffee table comatose. (more medical terms!) I don't know if it will pull thru. It is only 3 and a half too. I wonder if computer years are like dog years and it is really about 70?

not any issue with the removal of Norton.

Use the uninstall package, then do an explore on your hard disk
and remove anything with norton or symantec.
I ran norton off and on however Norton did not pick up 2 worms
and several tracking cookies the good old AVG did.

I am judging the AVG at the moment after a trial of Trend which has a poor user interface

Er, well, try Googling: Norton Internet Security problem uninstall

and interested if you can get through reading the results in a day. Digging in the Tech Forums will also be productive.

Has anyone tried the Norton removal tool freely downloadable from Symantec ?

I wonder if this would be any better than doing it all by hand ?

I was warned off it by several postings and articles on Tech Forums - saying its handling of registry items was not 100% effective, and having had a continually bad experience with Norton software, I wasn't keen to add another bit of their stuff on my machine.

Thanks MG.

One of these days, I'm just going to resort to the tried and tested, but very simple solution:
