Thnx 4 all the tries..
Norton gets installed in the name of Symantec for all the shared files and folders.
To completely remove Norton there are 2 ways..
1. Boot ur computer in safe mode and run the Norton removal tool. (The latest version runs in Safe mode) This should solve the problem.
Sometimes u get a runtime error when running the removal tool in safemode. If yes follow the second step.
2.
A. First remove the Symantec entries frm your registry.
(Take a backup and then proceed)
Navigate to HKLM\Software -- Look for Symantec, SymNRT folders-- Delete the entries.
Navigate to HKCU\Software -- Look for Symantec, SymNRT folders-- Delete the entries.
B. Now we have to clear the Symantec folders.(Some may be hidden)
Search for,
C:\Program files
C:\Program files\common files\Symantec
C:\Documents & Settings\All users\Symantec temporary files
C:\Documents & Settings\All users\Application data\Symantec shared
Delete all the above mentioned folders..some files don't delete, restart computer and try..
Then run the latest removal tool. That's it.
