With Norton Antivirus, you also have an option to remove the program by inserting the CD again, but it may or may not solve your problem. You should be able to uninstall through the Add/Remove Programs. Once you do get it cleaned from your system however, you will have at least gained a miniature frisbee type toy (your CD). So I suppose Norton isnt a TOTAL loss. Just a quite expensive play thing. Maybe you could use it as a coaster for a glass of soda or tea as well. Best of luck to you.

No. Reformatting is not a solution. First, try System Restore in the Start %26gt; All Programs %26gt; Accessories %26gt; System Tools %26gt; System Restore and Restore it to the point where you haven't installed Symantec Anti-Virus. After you restore, download and install either AVG Anti-Virus or Avast! Anti-Virus.

Or run Windows in Safe Mode and try to uninstall it.

***Take note to backup all files before doing a System Restore including programs installed after you installed Symantec
Try right clicking on the Icon and disabling then remove with the Add/Remove. Take the Updater out first.
