Norton Internet Security

[Guest]

Yesterday I tried loading Norton Internet Security on my computer (Windows XP
operating system). The setup seem to freeze so I re-booted, snce then the
computer is so slow it is not functioning properly that I can unnstall Norton
Internet Security. Any suggestions/directions on how to go back to an
earlied regstry?

System Restore should be able to reset the PC's state back to a
configuration before NIS.

Unless you want to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to
get NIS to work - Return for refund and get an alternate package.

You didn't tell us what version of NIS you are using.

Remove NIS 2005:

System Restore should be used as a LAST resort.

It is NIS 2003, the informaton will be very helpful once the system boots.
But that is the problem, it is taking over an hour to boot, any suggestions
to by-pass the normal boot process so I can remove NIS and then go back to a
normal boot?

Hello,

Try running the Norton Removal Tool located here
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

And try reinstalling again.

(..and stand by for Norton bashers =)..)

If you can't uninstall it go to the Symantec website and get their removal
tool. After NIS is removed use system restore to go back to a restore point
before the NIS install was attempted.

Don't bother with NIS or the other Norton home products such as NAV. There
are other good alternatives that are less resource intensive and less
problematic.
