Norton Uninstall

Suhas M · 12-03-2007, 05:06 PM

i downloaded norton 2007 trial from it's website. i later updated the definitions and it asked me restart, i did so and then when it tried to start, it gave a message that it cannot start. so i decided to uninstall it..while installing there some error, and it became non-responsive and i ended i through task manager. the norton shortcuts had disppeared from the start menu, but it was detected in tuneuputilities uninstall, again i tried to uninstall but again it became non responsive. now how do i completely uninstall this stupid program? i am using zonelarm pro also.. it gives me regular messsages that liveupdate engine is trying to acess the internet

Go to Add/Remove Programs list in control panel and uninstall "LiveUpdate" too. This is a part of Norton antivirus update which installs seperately.

What do you mean by n00b? This is a tech forum. Even a n00b can be taught to modify the registry.
