    I uninstalled Norton AV 2004 from my system, but I can not get the Norton WMI Update off the Add/Remove Program window. I used Add Remove Master and it didn't take it off the Add/Remove either and that has always been successful.

    On the Add/Remove it doesn't show any remove or change buttons, just has rarely.

    Can someone tell me how to get this off the Add/Remove?

    Hopefullyo_O

    Google found a thread that is similar to your problem. Don't know if it will help.

    No, that didn't help. I uninstalled Norton AV and tried to get rid of all Norton, but I can not get rid Norton WMI Update off the Add/Remove page. I tried Add Remove Master to remove it, which usually will work and it did remove it from that program list but not the Add/Remove page. I do not have any Norton products on my computer, so I do not need it and like to keep a "clean" Add/Remove window.

    There are no Change/remove buttons on the Add/Remove window. It just says used rarely,

    Hopefully I explained this a bit better. I would really like to remove it and know there must be some way. HELP, ANYONEo_O

    you can search the registry for the norton WMI and delete it from there and it will disapear from add/remove. that is the registry search and not the windows search ;)

    Tweak UI may remove the entry from the Control Panel.
