Norton Anti-Virus Removal Tool

Posted in Software, Internet and Email, Home Computing Tips at 4:59 pm by webmaster

For those of you who have Norton Anti-Virus, I found out after hours of frustration, that it isn’t possible to remove the program yourself. I have a new computer and being the non-fan of Norton that I am, I could hardly wait to delete it from my machine. But no matter what I tried, it wouldn’t work. The program is not even listed in Windows Add/Remove Programs files.

My niece is a computer technician, otherwise I would be out many hours, dollars, and pieces of hair. Apparently, the only way to get rid of Norton Anti-Virus is by going to their website and downloading a removal tool. After typing in some letters and agreeing to their terms, the tool sits on your desktop where it needs to be used a number of times (4 in my case) before the program actually leaves your life.

As you can tell, Norton has failed to gain my vote.

I did not want to have to stop allowing comments from my readers, but I am forced to by the amount of porn comments I have been getting.

Sorry, but it sickens me to have to see them so that they can be deleted. So the best thing is not to allow them in the first place. Unfortunately, that affects the good comments too.

Update: Since I now have the Akismet plug-in for Wordpress and it is great at catching spam, I am turning the comments back on.
