Avalon 08-01-2008, 12:42 In Vist Add/Remove is called "Programmes and Features", so you could look in there. The best way though is to google you Norton version alsong with "removal tool". Download the removal tool, and run it and the wave bye bye to Norton! alchresearch 08-01-2008, 12:49 If it's a new laptop and you're lucky enough to have the recovery CDs or DVDs, just wipe it. Norton has a nasty habit of not completely removing itself. willman 08-01-2008, 13:18 i'm just running updates etc before creating recovery discs, then i'll got for the norton removal. mr.blaze 08-01-2008, 14:26 Command Prompt; format c: willman 08-01-2008, 14:29 just removed it using the norton prog, was norton 360. just installed the avg pro.

Run a registry cleaner like CCleaner or EasyClean to get rid of those traces. *Ryan* 08-01-2008, 15:17 just removed it using the norton prog, was norton 360. just installed the avg pro.
