If your upgrading norton then why are you uninstalling the old one. Normally you just install over the older version. Thats what I did.

I advise this.
Remove Norton then try any or all of the following.
Just so you know you should use some type of antivirus protection.
Removing Symantec / Norton AntiVirus and LiveUpdate
Click on Start and then Control Panel.
In the control panel, double-click on Add / Remove Programs.
Look through the list of installed programs for any item that says
either Symantec, Norton, or LiveUpdate (for example "Symantec
AntiVirus Corporate Edition" or "Norton AntiVirus 2002").
Begin looking for Symantec or Norton items. LiveUpdate should be done last. For each Symantec, Norton, or LiveUpdate item, select the item and click Remove or Change / Remove or Add / Remove. Follow the instructions, and click Yes or Yes to all when prompted.
NOTE: If you attempt to remove LiveUpdate and receive a warning message about other Symantec applications being registered with LiveUpdate, click Yes to ignore the warning and remove LiveUpdate.
When you are done, there should be no items in the list that say
"Norton,""Symantec," or "LiveUpdate."
Close the Add / Remove Programs window. Close the Control Panels window.
Reboot your computer if it hasn't already automatically rebooted.
If present, delete the C:\Program Files\Symantec folder.
If present, delete the C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus
(or C:\Program Files\Norton) (or C:\Program Files\NavNT) folder.
If present, delete the
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared folder.

Cleaner.http://www.ccleaner.com/
This will tell you a lot about what is on your computer, such as running programmes,cookies, History, settings etc. and will help you clean up and remove unwanted items. Be careful how you use it as it is a very powerful programme and you should read the help index before you do anything with it.
