Then try uninstalling on Safe Mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2005 norton is a plauge, kind of like aol, i.e it can not be truly removed unless a clean format is done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 19, 2005 the prob with uninstalling Norton is that I sort of inbeds itself into certain programs for it to protect ur computer. so i would recomend a computer wiz for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Removing it is a thorn in your virtual butt. Backing up your un-losables and formatting is truly the best option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
