Hi Nelson, I tried uninstalling Norton using the uninstall funtion on the install disk. But, I found out that it only does a partial job of uninstalling it. So, I searched the Internet about how to do it, and this is what I found. It takes some doing, but I finally got the thing out of my computer (I think).
Now, I understand Symantec has recently released an installer which should do the job. http://service1.symantec.com/Support/num.nsf/docid/2003110711002611 And this (please excuse the duplicate links): http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/num.nsf/docid/2002110814042611?
