How to delete "old" Norton 360(is bad) at C:\Program Files, because I am trying for "new" Norton 360 CD

Answer 1

Nortons is a real nightmare to delete. Nortons leaves behind about 375 fragments, glued to all your files, folders, registry and hidden all over your system. When you go to add/remove you only think that Nortons has been removed. The fragments are still left and will cause you conflict with your system.

Here is a link for free software, Delete Doctor 2.1 that I use. This program will delete any write protected dll, file, folder, etc. etc. (If you follow the instructions will work 100%, as I have deleted write protected files, folders & dll's.

When you install the program open "browse", and search c://progam files for Nortons or the the other name used that start with "S". When you find Nortons, open logo, and continue to open until you have the same logo for Nortons that is on your monitor. Then you will add this logo to Delete Doctor. Then you double click on "delete with next reboot". Reboot your pc.

Now open start, run and type in: c://program files, and double click on browse, and open program files, and look for Nortons, file, open and delete the file.

Now you want to go back to start, search, type in Nortons, & their other name with "S", seperate, scans, an anything that is found delete from the top down. Perform the scan wtih both names.

You can also download after the above is completed, a free software that is excellent. CCleaner. http://www.ccleaner.com Clean your HDD, and then clean your registry for issues. Any issue found will be backed up to your documents with the registry keys.

Hope this helps you as my english is not that good
