How to remove Norton System works from the computer if it is not part of the Norton Remove Programs?

Question

thanks for yoru repy! Yeap,, a total pain! I actually removed it from the Remove programs but when I look at the programs I see it there and it does not give me the option to uninstall! so I have to configure the system again?

I've uninstalled it from the Software uninstall program, but it remains in my list of programs like if it is still there.

Hi Rusty Nails, I have tried to disable Norton from the start up but , when I go run and the window for system configuration utilities opens , it closes right away.........how can I change it to stay open to do the change?

Answer 1

Oh, I hate NORTON! I had such a problem with it. I needed to run Live Update but it would not allow me to do so. It said I needed to uninstall and re-install, but the files were not listed, so I couldn't uninstall it. I finally had to do a complete system restore. It sucked!

By the way, you could try puting the cd in to see if it will let you install it again before you uninstall it. I know it sounds weird but it has worked for me before with other programs.

This what I had to do .........


You may want to just shut it down in your msconfig so it won't run..

When I uninstalled it fouled up my machine and I had to buy another disc then turned it off..

route Start> Run > type in (msconfig) then startup shut off norton stuff there ..I think that is best option

I don't care for norton...It won't take go away like it should.

Answer 3

click the start button > all programs > look for norton and see if there is an uninstaller in the norton subdirectory

Norton is one of the hardest anti-virus program to get rid of any pc. Have you tried control panel and add/remove? try add/remove
window components and try from there
