1363932 2013-12-30 20:38:00 When my wife got her new Toshiba laptop, it came with various Norton programs pre-installed. Now that the trial period has expired I want to remove these and replace with a further NOD32 license. Can I remove all traces of Norton with the built in uninstallers, or should I use Revo, or do I need to download the Norton remover tool to get rid of everything Norton? Which is the best way to do this? Richard (739)

1363934 2013-12-30 22:21:00 I use revo first in advanced mode, this removes the folders and reg keys ( at least most of them). The Norton uninstallers dont get all the reg keys and folders, they leave MANY behind, Then run the Norton removal tools, sometimes they will pick up the odd entry if its left behind, then run Ccleaner, check the reg & startup and remove anything that may have been missed. wainuitech (129)

Formatting is the only sure way to get rid of Norton. :devil
