Compatibility issues, cannot delete Program using conventional mea

[Guest]

Hi,

I recently installed Windows Vista on my laptop and having difficulty
removing Symantec (Norton) software from my computer. It noted that
compatibility issues for Symantec products during installation but no mention
of not being able to delete the software afterwards in Vista. Each time I go
to the Control Panel and then the Installed Programs and try to remove Norton
the setup always fails to initialize and thus wont initiate the uninstall for
the program. Is there a viable alternative to this other than just going
through my program files and deleting the program files and leaving it at
that?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

For those of you having trouble uninstalling Norton here is a link that will
help.
I should let you know that the first two downloads don't really do anything,
in fact with the second file you download you will receive an error message.
The third file however, deletes norton from the registry. And we all know no
registry info. no program. Once its removed from the registry you can install
PC-cillin or whatever internet security program that is available for Vista.
Good Luck

How come you get a message from the system asking if your sure you want to
ADD information to the registry?
