Deleteing Norton

[schism]

Bought Norton.
Found Norton to suck.
Can't seem to Delete.

Can someone help me with the last one? :)

Uninstall Norton through Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel
Afterwards use Symclean to finish the job if necessary.
Search for the appropriate "symclean" here:

I am not the OP'er, but years ago I swore-off of any Norton products. They
are all set-up to take control of your machine and almost impossible to
uninstall. I prefer to run my own machine!

This is a very big problem with Norton AntiVirus, as I see it. If you need
to do a reinstall of NAV you need to first remove all traces of Symantec
from your machine, or the install will not be complete. Removing all traces
of Symantec from your machine is a very time-consuming process, including
editing the registry. I don't know why the program is formulated this way;
it seems as if it should be simpler.

Remove "DELANY" to reply by e-mail.

LOL. I've read the exact same comments from McAfee customers.

The problem has a very simple solution.
Symclean at Symantec's website does in a few seconds all the tedious
stuff you refer to.
With Symclean, "a very time-consuming process", takes less than a
minute.

found there.
