Sometimes it's sufficient and sometimes it's not. ;-) Run the Norton removal

tool and see if that takes care of the issue for you.

No, it is not!

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool:

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...005033108162039

The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls all Norton 2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003

products and Norton 360 from your computer.

 

While Norton's removal tool usually gets the job done, you may also want to

go to:

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html

and download a copy of winsockxpfix just in case. Rarely, the removal of

NIS breakes the networking components in XP to the point where internet

access is impossible. This little utility will fix it back up.

 

If the Norton removal tool doesn't work satisfactory use this:

Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Remove unwanted programs and traces easily

http://www.revouninstaller.com/

and/or

RegSeeker

http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm

RegSeeker will remove all associated detritus (registry keys,files and

folders) from any application. I found this application user friendly and

very effective but suggest not to use the 'Clean the Registry' option.

Click onto 'Find in registry' and in the 'Search for' box type Norton ;

The pertinent registry keys can then be safely deleted (just in case,

ensure that the 'Backup before deletion' is checked). Repeat the task by

typing in the Search for' box Symantec . You can then go on search and

remove associated files as well.

Then use NTREGOPT to compact the registry; Follow instructions.

Good. NOD32 is a much better choice than Norton.

Apparently not, based on what you say below.

Running two software firewalls at once is not a good thing to do. You

achieve no extra protection, you incur the extra overhead of running

two firewalls, and you run the risk (probably small, but not zero) of

conflicts between them.

 

Follow the instructions of Malke and Kayman to be sure you have

actually removed all the Norton software.
