Reply ASAP Please - Uninstall Norton

[Jim Merkner]

Forgive the crosspost

I have Norton Internet Security Suite 2004 and Norton is having a lot of
trouble renewing my subscription so I would like to uninstall Norton
Anti-virus (or the whole thing if necessary). How can I do it? When I go
to XP's add/remove programs and click uninstall a box comes up asking if I
want to reinstall or modify Norton. Given those choices I selected modify
and it only lets me set parental control etc. and says nothing about
uninstall. There is no uninstall program listed in the Norton folder. I
even tried to do it in the safe mode and when I click uninstall in the
add/remove programs section I get an error message that says Norton has
detected that I am in the safe mode and I should reboot the normal way and
try again there. It's precisely the kind of stuff that makes me want to get
rid of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks... Bob

Try the Norton Uninstall Tool here:

Yes, Norton has become a real nuisance of a system. Even after running the
tool, and you think you've got it all, you'll probably find lots of folders
and files and registry entries scattered all over.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I went to Norton's web site and did a search
for "uninstall" and naturally it didn't return that page! Wish me luck.
