Antivirus problem

[lokee]

I have windows XP installed at my home pc.
I'm trying to install Norton Antivirus. But it gives me message that some
components of Norton are found on the system. And hence I can not run this
software.
I've seen control panel > Add remove programs. But norton antivirus is not
seen there.
There is no folder of this type present in 'Program Files' folder.
How can I solve this problem.
Also I'm trying to run 'regedit' from start > run. But the registry editor
window do not open.
Whenever I connect to net some unwanted sites automatically get opened.
How can I get rid off this ?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
lokee

You may have some components in the programs files have to be remove

Thank God or whatever you've made up to fill in the gaps of what you
don't know.

If every computer would act the same as yours, there'd be a lot more
people happy with their computing experience.

NORTON/SYMANTEC SUCKS! It's products are more virus-like than some
real viruses!

Cant just say that :)

eg A few days ago I just used NDD, dos version, to fix my wife's pc. Had
to do a scandisk,,,full, in dos. Win scandisk would lock, but NDD did
not lock, and fixed the bad/crosslinked files.
