He's got two significant pages with instructions which are handy. Also, if you GOOGLE "uninstall Norton" you may notice other websites, like windowssecrets.com and PC Hell website. I am just doing the same (almost) thing... uninstalling a full Norton product, and before doing so, looked up NO LESS THAN 6 websites with similar information, tips, hints, and links, as well as instructions for doing the removal. I'm quite proud to note that 4 of my 6 links happen to refer to each other, so they all know they agree. Mister Norton is (was?) a great guy, and Symantec, unfortunately, seems to have gone ahead and abused his good name by creating products that don't remove themselves nicely according to the End User's wishes... and I even notice that they don't give the user the option of "exiting" or "quitting" the program once running... .. not to mention the ALL TOO FREQUENT complaint about Norton products using TOO MUCH COMPUTER RESOURCES... primarily because LiveUpdate (LUcomm-whatever-it's-called) sometimes multiplies itself many times and takes up lots of RAM in the process [sic]! Good luck. Google, get your information and instructions, get many opinions, and proceed carefully. One last thing: Look up the LOCKERGNOMES and Chris Pirillo. GREAT links, tips and info there... Santosh,
