| 29312 | 2001-12-31 08:43:00 | After recently uninstalling a trial of Norton Internet Security 2001 i discovered that there are still registry and windows files left after the uninstall. Is it safe to delete these registry entries/windows files. I am planning to buy a new anti-virus program and am concerned that the remains of the old program may conflict with the new 1. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. |

| 29313 | 2001-12-31 09:46:00 | Hi Kyle, at a guess the registry entries and windows files will be related to the length of time the trial will run for (so you can't just reinstall Norton after a month). They will also contain the settings that you used when it was installed. Hope this helps JM PS. Look whos got the sad life, posting a message here at 2147 on New Years Eve. Have a good one |

I have used it on several systems as norton would not let me install a newer version till the old one was totally gone. www.symantec.com |
