Don't assume that the normal uninstall procedures work with Norton/Symantec
Download the proper version of this and uninstall completely or you
will have problems:

I have no systems with Norton/Symantec installed, except for one that's
currently dead anyway - won't boot even as far as the "press DEL to
enter setup" screen. It was my primary gaming system and I just haven't
have time for games since I went back to school.
I think it's a bad keyboard port on the motherboard, but I haven't had
time to spend disassembling it to find out. It was on a UPS that needs
the batteries replaced & kept getting crashed every time Progress Energy
got the hiccups.
Might have fried the hard-disk or motherboard, and I don't really need
that computer anyway. Or it might just need a new CMOS battery.
Even that one might already have had Norton/Symantec removed, I don't
remember.
I'll worry about it later if at all. If I ever get it booted up again, I
might just run my standard software uninstall tool - fdisk - and install
a new OS from scratch.
