Norton Anti-Virus Removal Tool
at 4:59 pm by webmasterFor 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.

You are very welcome Marie. My favourite anti virus tool is AVG from www.grisoft.com
There is a free version and it works much better than Norton ever did for me. If you don’t see the free version when you go to the grisoft site, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.
