Did you buy a new PC this past Holiday Season which came with the latest Norton or Symantec product installed with a trial version of an anti-virus or security product? Decided that you don’t like how much of a CPU resource hog it is and not interested in purchasing it, but you just can’t seem to get all of it uninstalled from your computer. Well you can fight with individually uninstalling all the applications or you can go with Symantec/Nortons removal tool which I must admit does a good job of taking out all the installations.
It will remove the following items:
Norton AntiSpam 2004 – 2005
Norton Antivirus 2003 – 2007.2
Norton Ghost 2003, 9.0, and 10.0
Norton GoBack 3.1 – 4.2
Norton Internet Security 2003 – 2007.2
Norton Password Manager
Norton Personal Firewall 2003 – 2006
Norton SystemWorks 2003 – 2007
Norton Confidential Online 2007
Norton Internet Security 2007 Add-on Pack
Norton Save and Restore 1.0 – 2.0
Norton 360
Follow these directions to download the Norton Removal Tool and run it to remove the above programs.
Click on the following link to download the Norton removal tool
ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
Click Save and save the file to your desktop
Close all Norton Application windows you may have open, and double-click on Norton_Removal_Tool.exe to start the removal tool. Windows Vista users will have to right-click on the file and select “Run as Administrator”
After the removal tool finishes, you should be prompted to restart your computer.
Once the computer restarts, your Norton product should be uninstalled.
