Bought Norton.
Found Norton to suck.
Can't seem to Delete.
Can someone help me with the last one?

I am not the OP'er, but years ago I swore-off of any Norton products. They
are all set-up to take control of your machine and almost impossible to
uninstall. I prefer to run my own machine!

I bought a "bare box" machine, not long ago, that had "Do Not Install
Norton" posted in several places in the documentation as well as having
stickers on the case and packaging saying the same. FWIW

To each their own, but I've never had a problem with any Norton/Symantec
product dating back to '00 when I stopped using McAfee. I've ran it on
Win98se, ME and now XP Home. I've used it on store bought systems, my custom
built XP desktop and a new Dell laptop bought in May of this year. I'm just
lucky I guess.

You are right, to each his own. I once used McAfee, I as well, was not
pleased. For virus scanning software, I am running PC-cillin. I feel, there
is no need for the self installed computer management that most others
offer.

This is a very big problem with Norton AntiVirus, as I see it. If you need
to do a reinstall of NAV you need to first remove all traces of Symantec
from your machine, or the install will not be complete. Removing all traces
of Symantec from your machine is a very time-consuming process, including
editing the registry. I don't know why the program is formulated this way;
it seems as if it should be simpler.

Norton has a utility on their web that does a complete
uninstall including removing items from the registry. I
have used it before - it works.

The problem has a very simple solution.
Symclean at Symantec's website does in a few seconds all the tedious
stuff you refer to.
With Symclean, "a very time-consuming process", takes less than a
minute.

I was told by technical support & Symantec support Web pages that i had to
manually edit the registry in addition to using their removal tools. So I
did.
One might also ask why a program must be so difficult to reinstall. Is it a
Norton problem or is it an XP problem? Why can't one reinstall over the old
one. It seems like that is the way with other programs.
Are you "Ty" from "alt.fan.dune" ?
