you could Try doing a search for norton, using the windows search tool. You can delete the files from here, its not perfect, but it might give you enough to install the new one. Be careful that you only delete the norton files,

in the event you do delete something you shouldnt have, you can restore it from the recycle bin

cheers,
Bob

Go to Symantec's website and do a search on uninstalling or manual uninstal. They have an answer to your difficulties there. I had this problem with an earlier version and it was relatively quick and easy to fix.

If you haven't done so yet, you could also check in the manual (printed or on CD) as some have the full details of how to get out of the 'corrupted uninstal' loop.

Cheers

48761 2002-05-14 12:32:00 Go to the Norton site www.symantec.com They have a tool to remove all traces of their earlier versions of anti virus. I had to use it to install my mum's new nortons. Sorry I cant remember where exactly it is but it is inside the home computer section as a starting point. Guest (0)
