Running a decent registry cleaner should remove the unwanted traces. CCleaner or RegCleaner are both adequate.

351157 2005-05-07 09:43:00 If thats Norton Internet Security (or like it), this includes AV as part of the install.

AV isnt a separate install. It's all part of the same program.

i have seen it as 2 seperate installs and 2 different versions.

personally i would get rid of the lot ;)

Hi johnboy
I thought I had better be brave (knees quaking) and go through the whole manual uninstal bit . I got the uninstal instructions for Symantic 9 . x client from Windows XP .

It did say to stop the following services
> Intel Alert Handler
> Intel Alert Originator
> Intel File Transfer
> Intel PDS

But, of course, none of them were there because I have an AMD processor .

Never mind - I looked for the next thing to stop the services for -
> SAVRoam
but could not find it !

Got three Symantics ! But not "SecurePort" or "Settings Manager"

Users more skilled than I could have probably worked it out - but was getting way above my head . Still I had a go !!


Speedy Gonzales - So, if u uninstall NIS, it will most probably remove all of those files as well . ( why don't you come home ?)

I did uninstal NIS and think it was the right thing to do, thanks .

I seemingly have installed AVG properly and it is giving good results (so far !)

Many thanks for all your inputs
Misty :thumbs:
