Notes:
The RnisUPG.exe utility should be used only if you cannot uninstall Norton Internet Security through Add/Remove Programs. Uninstalling through Windows does a more thorough job of removing the program.
The RnisUPG.exe utility will not remove components of Norton AntiVirus if it was installed with Norton Internet Security. To remove Norton AntiVirus, see the document How to uninstall Norton AntiVirus 2000/2001/2002.
The RnisUPG.exe removal utility is not supported. Symantec Technical Support cannot help you resolve any problems that might arise from using RnisUPG.exe.
Uninstall manually (This procedure requires editing the registry)
Manually uninstalling requires deleting elements from four parts of the operating system:
The registry
The Start menu
The program folders
The desktop

Choose your operating system, then the version of Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall you want to manually uninstall.

Depending on which Windows program you are using varies with removing it manually.
