Formatting is different than FDISK. I used Norton once, went through the
uninstall and found later that Symantec was still on the system
[hidden]. Your case sounds awfully familiar to me, that is why I am
sending you these removal instructions. Pay attention to number 10.
*Removing Symantec / Norton AntiVirus and LiveUpdate*
1. Click on Start and then Control Panel.
2. In the control panel, double-click on Add / Remove Programs.
3. Look through the list of installed programs for any item that says
either *Symantec*, *Norton*, or *LiveUpdate* (for example
"Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition" or "Norton AntiVirus 2002").
4. Begin looking for *Symantec* or *Norton* items. *LiveUpdate*
should be done last. For each* Symantec*, *Norton*, or *LiveUpdate
*item, select the item and click *Remove *or* Change / Remove* or*
Add / Remove*. Follow the instructions, and click *Yes* or *Yes to
all *when prompted.
NOTE: If you attempt to remove LiveUpdate and receive a warning
message about other Symantec applications being registered with
LiveUpdate, click *Yes* to ignore the warning and remove LiveUpdate.
5. When you are done, there should be no items in the list that say
"Norton,""Symantec," or "LiveUpdate."
6. Close the *Add / Remove Programs* window. Close the Control Panels
window.
7. *Reboot your computer* if it hasn't already automatically rebooted.
8. If present, delete the* *C:\Program Files\*Symantec* folder.
9. If present, delete the C:\Program Files\*Norton AntiVirus* (or
C:\Program Files\*Norton*) (or C:\Program Files\*NavNT*) folder.
10. If present, delete the C:\Program Files\Common Files\*Symantec
Shared* folder.
11. Refer to How to Install and Configure Symantec AntiVirus Corporate
Education 10.x for Windows <InstallConfigSAV10.htm> and How To
Create/Edit a Scheduled Scan of your HD with SAV 10.x
<http://ict.cas.psu.edu/training/howto/util/SchedScan10.htm>.
*NOTE*: If these steps fail, your AntiVirus installation may be damaged.
Symantec has manual uninstallation documents that you can find here.
These should help you remove your version.
