Norton AV Uninstall

[martyk4vm]

I uninstalled Norton AV 3 years ago, and just discovered several folders from Symantec. I deleated all of them.

I was sure somewhere on this board I saw instructions for completing the uninstall of Norton AV, but I can't find it. Any hints?

Then I will need the latest list of how to uninstall McAfee AV.

THEN I can install Nod32.

Thanks.

You need the NAV uninstaller which can be found in Symantecs website.

Here is McAfee stuff about completely removing McAfee
http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=71943

Note that McAfee usually removes without problems so you can use them only if you encourage problems removing McAfee .

Symantec new versions have impoved their install/uninstall ability and less errors occure but you should use their removal tool , just in case
For Symantec version 2003 - 2007

If you install NOD32 , you can have a look at Blackspear's tutorial (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=37509)and configure on maximum protection ;)

Thanks, Hitech Boy for your help. I'll check those sites out too.

The above URL for the free trial download of Nod32 does not work. It says "The Page Cannot Be Found or I am not authorized".

Any other suggestions?

Thanks Ron. Got it! And scanned it for viruses with McAfee :-\ and it passed. Now I am ready to uninstall all the old junk, and start with the new.

The Norton AV uninstall tool still leaves a few errant registry entries around. A search of the registry for Norton and Symantec then a quick delete does the trick.

Somehow I figured it wouldn't be all easy and smooth going. That is Norton for you. Thanks.
