Hi ekikos
This is how to Remove Norton and Symantec from your System Please also check using the Search Function look in Hidden files and Folders for Symantec Products. Good Luck

Hi ekikos
If your sure it is Not in Add and Remove check by Searching in the Hidden Files and Folders and see if there is any Trace there of it or Symantec and Post back.

this is whats weird about it.... i have a folder in my c:\program files but not in the add remove programs.

Did the removal tool halt on not being able to remove it from add and remove, if not run it

[ekikos]

the symantec antivirus does not appear on the add remove list. what is the removal tool that i need to run in order to try and remove it. if i need to run a removal tool how would i run it?

thanks

Does it let you click on next

[ekikos]

no it does not allow me to go next.

[Retired Tech]

You will need to ask Symantec about this

[ekikos]

should i try installing it again maybe it will appear in the add remove pgm

[Retired Tech]

That should work
