I have Norton Anti-Virus on my computer and I can't uninstall it! I was going to download a trial of a different program until I can get a new one and it won't let me download it because Norton is still there. I tried deleting it from add/remove programs. It says "the system cannot find the file specified". I tried deleting it with the disk. There is no option to delete it. Then I tried deleting it manually and it would let me delete some of the files, but not all. I don't want to use Norton anymore. I don't like it. I want to switch to "Shield Deluxe 2009", but I can't download it until Norton is completely gone. Can someone help please?!

When uninstall Norton it is important that you turn off all protection first. If you don't then you can mess up the uninstall. Did you have a full version of Norton or one that came with the google pack. If it came with the google pack I think you have to uninstall it that way. Make sure all Norton protection is off. Go to start, programs, Norton. then use the Norton uninstall option there. If that does not work. Google Norton removal tool and go to the Norton link that gives you the removal tool. Download and run the tool this will remove all of Norton from your computer.
