norton AV2005 problem

[Christo]

cant think of another group to post this in

i installed a cracked version of norton anti virus 2005

it started playing up so i uninstalled an re installed, it was still playing
up so i tried to uninstall again


the uninstall program encountered a problem mid uninstallation and shut down

so i figured i would delete the registry values and delete the files from
the folder and in control panl i would be able to try to remove and it would
say "file not found" and then delete the norton AV icon from the list

however it doesn't it says the following something the file being missing
and then after that it says drivers have been marked for detection


how can i get rid of it?

Would installing a valid copy of Norton AV2003 pro work and allow me to un
install norton 2005?

i have tired installing norton 05 again and i get an error whilst installing

the norton files are still loading at start up so i cant think whats going
on?

any help please? i would much appreciate it

Why not pay for the program and then install it? Call Symantec if you can't
make it work.

....or better yet, ask in a software newsgroup - unless NAV comes as hardware
now.

(Hrm... PCI card based AV/firewall solution??? Just need some flash memory
to hold defs... )

no i mean cracked downloaded from suprnova.org

i couldn't think of any other groups, the software groups are specific, and
on my news server there is only software-antivirus.sophos or something

I cant call symantec because the product is copied/cracked/hacked or
whatever and i dont have the CD just an ISO image

thats why i posted here, because i know alot of people that post here are
quizzed up sort of people that dont mind helping people out, unlike most of
the XP groups which are flooded with linix junkies trolling them to oblivion

thought someone might be able to help

Why on *earth* would /anyone/ want to help a thief?!

ah why on earth would you want to pay 30 quid on something (which isnt that
much really but even so) when you can get it for nothing somewhere else,
also the product expires within a year, so you have to keep spending £30
over and over, big corporations suck it is a joke.

it works now though so im ok, i re installed it after doing a system
restore.

and please dont try to spark an argument off by calling me a thief yes i
might be a thief but at least im not a troll

Get rid of it by deleting the rest of the registry entries.

Using buggy/failed-install/reg-edited/cracked/
warez/Norton/AV2005 is just wrong on SO many different
levels. There ARE free AV programs. These days there are
freeware or inexpensive alternatives for many different
needs, the number 1 anti-virus measure might be avoiding
these "alternate" software sources altogether.

That's what I said... INFECTED.

There's LOTS of fake warez out there that installs nicely and seems OK, then
BOOM! Starts killing files, etc...

If you can't bothered to pay for the software, why do you think anyone can
be bothered to help?

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but if you can't steal a stereo out of a
car, do you ask a passerby for help?

I'm calling you what you are - if you don't like it, maybe you shouldn't
steal...

Are you saying I'm a troll? Do you even know what a troll is...?

I'd explain to you why you're not stealing from the people with all the
money in these big corporations, but it would go *WAY* over your head...

I don't use NAV (I'd like my OS to stay unbroken) I use AVG, which is free
(well I paid £25 for 3 years of updates and TS).

I calls it as I sees it - and you're a thief.
