Norton Cannot Be Removed and Disables Competing Products.

[Vastmasd]

I do believe that on Mon, 5 May 2008 11:54:24 -0400,

Enough is enough. If you don't like the answers you get here, go somewhere
else like back to Norton. This is a newsgroup for XP new users. If your
machine came with Norton or you installed Norton it is your responsibility
to know that Norton does not have a totally reliable product (as you found
out.) If in doubt about a program, ask the question here before you install
it.

The best way to ensure that Norton is totally uninstalled, in your case, is
to totally reinstall Windows from scratch, don't use any of your backup
except for individual data files and your programs from their original
disks.

As for the MVP war, I'm not an MVP and don't really care to be one. I am on
this group to help others, not for any type of recognition. My advice is
generally sound, but like others, I occasionally make mistakes. So, whether
you have the right to use MVP or not, I don't really care. If you help
people to the best of your ability that is all that matters.

Reading your latest post tells me that you are capable of confusing
whoever is listening to you and yourself.

You only show you are being dishonest when you don't address the
issue.

Hope this helps.

No don't hope anything of the kind. Your post was completely refuted
so you resort to lies. You are nothing but a corporate shill for
Norton. Guys like you, are the worst. You sell computer users out to
the software companies. You have no self respect.

I COULD ANSWER MORE FULLY BUT IMPORTANT POINTS WOULD BE LOST.

1. You admit that Norton is hard to uninstall not mentioning the fact
that Norton programs Norton Programs, which means that Norton wants
them hard to uninstall. As Norton wants their programs to be hard to
uninstall it stands to reason that Norton will do everything it can to
prevent the user from uninstalling Norton as long as they can get away
with it.

2. Norton is a virus and as such installs itself and as such it
attacks competing programs.

3. I cannot accept the fact that you are confused as to the meaning be
free of. Maybe you are so desperate to find an answer that you
confused yourself. Went you asked if when I said “Norton Free” I only
meant that I wanted to get rid of Norton you were being absurd. I
shouldn’t have to explain the meaning of the word “free.” When you
look at an ingredient label and it says “peanut free” it doesn’t mean
that they wish they didn’t have any peanuts in there; it mans WITHOUT.
When I said Norton Free I meant Norton was uninstalled and any person
who knows English knows that. Everyone including you knows the meaning
of the word “free.” You know it means without. The only confusion was
on your part.

4. I said Norton was uninstalled for months before I got Elephant
Drive. So the claim that I reinstalled Norton is patently false. (I am
not accusing you of being dishonest only desperate to avoid the
reality that Norton is a virus.)

5. I only stored image and text files on Elephant Drive.

6. I never ever did any kind of restore from Elephant Drive.

7. I moved image and text files from one computer to another with
Elephant Drive that is all.

8. MOST IMPORTANT a file named Norton Ghost was found on a secure part
of the Elephant Drive files.

Programmers protect certain files so their program will run reliably.
I just found out from an engineer at Elephant Drive that there was no
legal way a file named Norton Ghost would be found in where it was
found. It shouldn’t ever be found in those kinds of Elephant Drive
files.

The person from Elephant Drive made sure to say he was not accusing
Norton of anything only that the file shouldn’t have been there. I’m
sure people in the computer business are afraid of Norton (most Norton
employees are good hard working, talented people) because those who
run Norton are powerful and ruthless.

I clearly said it was months after I was

Flamestar

Patrick was offering the right advice. The likely explanation for
your problem is that your earlier removal of Norton Anti Virus and
Norton Ghost. was not done in the correct way. This probably meant
that the removal tool was not able to work as it should. In this
situation one way to proceed would be to reinstall Norton Anti Virus
and Norton Ghost and then use the Norton removal tool. Given what
you have since tried I would not think this is now a feasible way to
proceed.

What was the precise version of the Norton product(s) installed? Did
you print off and study the instructions before using the Norton
removal
tool?http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/selectproduct_ts.jsp

The removal of Norton products has for years presented considerable
difficulties for the average user so it is not surprising that you
encountered difficulties. Many Technical Support staff often have not
been fully trained to handle the problems they are asked to resolve.
On the other hand they are often trying to help users who have
limited computing skills. The technical nature of the issues
involved can also cause difficulties when one explains to the other
what they are seeing and what has to be done.

Reading your latest post tells me that you are capable of confusing
whoever is listening to you. This is not intended as a criticism. My
feeling is based on seeing how you present information. An example of
this is how you say at one point you paid Norton and later you say
Norton did not charge! Also the this statement by you is ambiguous "I
have been Norton free for about 8 months."! Does this mean that
Norton was removed 8 months ago or your first attempt was 8 months
ago?

This statement suggests to me that you do not fully understand the
full implications of what you are saying "I would think I removed
Norton and it would rebuild it self. That’s right I would think it
was gone and a few days later it would return.". If Norton is
removed it stays removed unless you do something to restore it. Thus
if you restored your system from a backup then you would have Norton
again but that requires action by the user. Restoration does not
occur without user input. Norton Ghost is capable of providing
backup images. However you say you removed that programme. Elephant
Drive is an Online Data Storage system and it could be that you have
reintroduced Norton from restoring from your Elephant Drive
facility. We can only guess! It's for you to say whether this is
what you have done?

Your first post said "Norton Cannot Be Removed and Disables Competing
Products." Norton does interfere with programmes that try to make
changes to the Windows Registry. Users of Norton products need to be
aware of this and work round the problems this causes. However, there
are a number of other similar products that do similar things. What
anti-virus and anti-spyware programmes are you using? What firewall
are you using?

I should mention that the the first person who responded to your
request for help was a troll named "pcbutts1 [MS MVP]". There was
nothing wrong with his advice but he is not an MS MVP. Equally
Patrick Keenan amd myself are not an MS MVP but then we do not
pretend to be something we are not.

You didn’t read my post.

1. I removed or had removed both Norton Anti Virus and Norton Ghost.
To give me advice on how to remove these programs shows you did not
understand my message.

2. I do not need advise on how to remove Norton as I had the best
people I could find at Norton do it.

3. I did everything you recommended to remove Norton myself and
more, far more but it was never completely removed. I rebooted 3
times.

4. I would think I removed Norton and it would rebuild it self.
That’s right I would think it was gone and a few days later it
would return.

5. I paid Norton for help.

6. They advised me to have one of their people remove the program
but several techs refused because it was too hard.

7. I finally found someone from Norton who agreed to help. Norton
did not charge because they knew Norton was in the wrong.

8. The tech from Norton tried everything you said to remove Norton
and more far more. (He had me reboot the computer at least 4 times.)

IT DIDN’T WORK

7. Then he removed Norton by hand. It took about 7 hours to do it.
He got help from his boss and coworkers, He also had to stop and
read manuals. I even think he made a few phone calls.

8. I have been Norton free for about 8 months.

9. I got Elephant Drive an online storage service about 4 months
ago.

10. Norton Ghost is a backup program and as such is in competition
with Elephant Drive.

11. Norton Products often attack and disable competing products.

12. I have been using Elephant Drive for about 4 months and suddenly
it stopped working so I got on the chat line with someone from
Elephant Drive who tried to get it working without success.

13. He had me look through an Elephant Drive file that had nested
files and one of the files said Norton Ghost.

Months after Ghost was removed by experts it returned. My guess is
that Norton is burned into ROM by Dell. I’m not saying Ghost or any
other Norton product is installed in ROM only that there is
something in ROM that keeps Norton around and helps Norton attack
competing products.

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool

That doesn’t work. I ran the removal tool several times before I
called Norton customer service. They ran it at least twice before
they manually removed the program. All the removal tool does is
hide the program it does not remove it.

============
The removal tool actually does remove the program - the files,
folders, and registry entries.

If it isn't working for you, restart in Safe Mode as Administrator,
and remove the folders and registry entries manually. If you don't
know how
to do this, it might be a good idea to hire someone who does.

Have them back up the drive before doing this, just to be on the
safe side.

.... and 3. Because he's done nothing to substantiate the claim. If
John Doe claims he's the smartest person in the world, it's not anyone
else's responsibility to prove him wrong, it's *his* responsibility to
prove to everyone else that he's right.

An unsubstantiated claim like his is meaningless. If anything, its
main effect is simply casting further doubts on *everything* else he
says.

You must have a reading comprehension problem. Show me and everyone else a
post from me giving out bad or wrong advice. Show me a post where my advice
has broke or caused harm to another computer. Show me a post where I just up
an attacked another person posting in this or any other group for no reason.
The bad attitude starts with the people in this group who reply to my post
with lies similar to what you have done stating that I am a thief and a
liar. For over three years now they have been attacking me and trying to get
rid of me and my website. I have been sued twice and won both of them. I
have had 3 DMCA violations fraudulently files against my website. I beat all
three. I have been contacted by the FBI investigating a complaint filed by
Christopher Butts, the person you all think I am, about harassing phone
calls apparently made to his job by the trolls in these newsgroup, why on
earth would anybody do that? The trolls listed in my sig and a few stupid
MVP's can't take failure and being wrong and being called out about it so
they keep nitpicking and attacking me. Watch how many reply to this post.
The fact is I am right and always have been, they can't handle the truth.
They can say what ever they want about me until they are blue in face that
does not make it true.

Are you sure *you're* not an MVP too??

 

[pcbutts1 [MS MVP]]

I first used it with my pcbutts1 nickname 5 years ago. They didn't complain
then until Dave the thief stole my program passed it off as his own and
accused me of stealing it when he got called out on it. I stopped using it
when posting as pcbutts1,they didn't stop. That was years ago. Three weeks
ago I started using it again. I have the right to use it I will continue to
use it. Those idiots have a personal vendetta against me. I am not going to
stop just to "see" what they will do, I already know. You put too much trust
in those MVP's this is not their NG nor are they in charge.

You put too much faith in those other MVP's they are scum. See my

The question which has fuelled the controversy is representing
yourself as an MS MVP. Desist from this misrepresentation and your
posts will be treated on their merits by me and no doubt by most of
the others posting here.

the people in this group who reply to my post with lies similar to
what you have done stating that I am a thief and a liar. For over
three years now they have been attacking me and trying to get rid
of me and my website. I have been sued twice and won both of them.
I have had 3 DMCA violations fraudulently files against my website.
I beat all three. I have been contacted by the FBI investigating a
complaint filed by Christopher Butts, the person you all think I
am, about harassing phone calls apparently made to his job by the
trolls in these newsgroup, why on earth would anybody do that? The
trolls listed in my sig and a few stupid MVP's can't take failure
and being wrong and being called out about it so they keep
nitpicking and attacking me. Watch how many reply to this post. The
fact is I am right and always have been, they can't handle the
truth. They can say what ever they want about me until they are
blue in face that does not make it true.



pcbutts1

1. Your posts and behaviour do not suggest you are one.

2. The other MS MVPs do not believe you are one.

I was suspicious before the MS MVPs raised it as an issue.

I didn't think the outburst merited a response but thanks for
responding. Also to LVTravel.

BTW we are all MVPs (Most Valuable Persons)! The objection is to
the false claim by PcButts1 to be a MS MVP, an award by
Microsoft. --

No don't hope anything of the kind. Your post was completely
refuted so you resort to lies. You are nothing but a corporate
shill for Norton. Guys like you, are the worst. You sell
computer users out to the software companies... <snip>

Oh, now you're just ranting, all pretence at logic out of the

Why do think it is a false claim?

Well, for me, it's because of your steadfast refusal to actually provide
any proof that you are one, and the fact that I still know a good number
of the MVP Leads.

If you are indeed an MVP could you ask your lead to email me assurances of
such?

I do believe that on Fri, 09 May 2008 01:09:02 GMT,

Glad you asked us for proof that you aren't a real MVP. It's soooo easy to
prove, even without revealing your real name or providing a link to an MVP
profile.

Top posting clown.

People who want to understand your post have to scroll down before they
even know what you are talking about.

 

[pcbutts1 [MS MVP]]

You are wrong. My windows live ID that is associated with my real name does
have the mvp icon as it should, however the reason for me using pcbutts1 is
because everybody is trying to ID me. Those bad MVP's will do everything
they can to stop me. It's way beyond my mvp status. The MS CDO interface
tracks posts by the users Live or Passport ID if I go in and edit my name to
pcbutts1 so everybody can see that I am a real MVP they will then be able to
see all my other posts that contain my real name. That is not going to
happen. Nice try.

Your inability to sign into Microsoft's community with an MVP Windows Live
ID
to post messages so the blue Microsoft MVP icon shows next to your
pcbutts1
name means you aren't a current Microsoft MVP.

As a current Microsoft MVP I can sign in with an MVP Windows Live ID, post
a
message to the community on Microsoft's site, then post a link here to
that
message. That message shows the blue MVP icon next to my name, Chris O'C.
You may have to expand the middle column to the right to see the blue MVP
icon next to my name.

If you can't see the icon very well, open this next page and scroll about
half way down to my message posted at 4/27/2008 10:05 PM EST. It's a

Even though I've pretty much spelled out my full name in my posts, the
Windows Live ID post doesn't reveal which of the 4000 MVP profiles is
mine,
nor my full name.

Since you *can't* sign in with an MVP Windows Live ID and post a message
on
the Microsoft community site that shows the blue MVP icon next to your
pcbutts1 user name, you're not an MVP. Only MVPs can do that, even if
they
want to keep their real names and MVP profiles private.

Chris
Microsoft MVP

First of all I am getting sick and tired of people saying I am not an MVP.
I
am an MVP. My name is not pcbutts1 that is why you cannot find it on the
MS
site. There 4000+ MVP's in 94 countries, you don't know me and have no
right
to lie about me. I have been offering correct help and advice in these
groups for many years. Until you or anyone else prove who I am and that I
am
not a real MVP then you need to shut up and stop trolling this group
looking
for a flame war.

Pcbutts,
I went to your site and downloaded your Remove-it program.
I must say it worked like a charm! It removed all aspects of efficiency my
computer had.
My system slowed to a crawl, I had backed up my registry prior to installing
Remove-it however restoring my backup didn't rectify whatever your program
****ed up. Fortunately, I also have my complete system backed up and
reloaded it which put things back the way it was before I trusted your
program.
In short, all is ok now and thanks for nothing.

Mickey

Well how long does it take? I'm still waiting....................
