"Norton Internet Security" can't be removed before installation

I am a new user and am trying to migrate from Norton 360. However, after many attempts to run the NRT using your copy and the current copy from Symantec, the message "Norton Internet Security" found always shows during ESET 5 installation. Please note that the specific Symantec product "Norton Internet Security" was never installed (only 360), so it appears that some code can't be totally removed. Would it be something in the registry?

 

PM sent.

 

Please PM me also..
Me too also have the same problem.. Dont know how to solve it.. Already tried Norton removal, Perfect Uninstaller, CCleaner.. Not helping at all..
Thanks in advance..

 

A well known Forum Help Guru assisting me with a most recent Security Update Failure opined that the failure of Best Buy to completely remove Norton from my new computer in 11/06 could likely be the cause of Every Issue I've ever posted in the Forum he's most active in.

Have run Norton Remover several times since at various Helpers' requests and my ESET Vendor STILL sees remnants in his USB Lockup help for me. IF the next computer I want has Norton on it it will be left in the store.

 

I also am having trouble removing Norton IS , its detected everytime i install Eset SS

 

I just hit ignore and installed after 10 attempts to remove Norton, wiped the registry and deleted everything I could find that said Norton...If there is a fix PM me and I'll re install as I am having issues

 

Hello,

Just to check, when people are talking about removing the Symantec Norton software, they are using the Symantec Norton Removal Tool to clear the system prior to installing ESET Smart Security, correct?

Yeah I certainly ran it along with several reg cleaners & a manual search for left over files & still it gets picked up as installed when trying to install eset ss.

 

Hi there.

Do RegEdit then delete all registry keys that say "Symantec".
After that, you might want to search for Symantec files/folder which probably still left behind and delete them whenever you find them.

Good luck

 

Hello
Im having the same problem nothing i try helps
After i used Symantec Norton Removal Tool still same problemm

 

Me too also have the same problem..
Already ran it 3 times and still got same message..
Why must Norton make this uninstallation thing so complicated...??

 

I haven't seen anyone say that they have used the removal tool after rebooting into safe mode. That should ensure that no parts of the program are being loaded into memory, where they are nearly impossible to remove.

 

I did all of this and as stated hit continue and ignore finally after 5 unsuccessful attempts and 3 re installs. Norton isn't on my system, I have cleaned registry twice
