My Norton Internet Security 2009 has been causing me lots of problems. I was told to uninstall and re-install the disk, but the uninstall is not working. I went to control panel, add/remove programs, and un-install, but nothing happens. No screen pops up or anything, just nothing happens. I removed other programs and those un-installs work fine.
I also went to start, then norton security, uninstall, but that seems to do nothing.
Can you help me figure out another way to remove it from my computer so that I may start over.
Thanks!!

FREE SECURITY SYSTEMS
1.(Comodo Internet Security)
Comodo has put out a great free all in one security suite that’s really sweet!
I’ve tryed all of the major programs paid and free and this one is right up there with the best! It works great right out of the box and has everything you need to protect your computer and private files plus lots of extras like parental control,DNS service,and many more.It’s also pretty lite on the resources.

2. (PcTools Internet Security)
PcTools Internet Security is another great all in one suite that has everything you need to stay safe although not as many features as Comodo this one is a (paid) program but I found a way to get it free legally at this site.

3. (Malwarebytes,Superantispyware,Avira)
(Note) These are old school programs but their very effective and reliable!
Malwarebytes and Superantispyware are both on demand scanners and Avira is a scanner/firewall combo,They work well with each other and are lite and effective, although Avira is prone to giving false positives from time to time?
Watch this video that shows how to use these programs to kill malware.

best advise is you should have called norton support tech. that is what you have paid for if your subscription is current.

Follow the steps below. After that, I suggest u go to C:\Program Files, u will find there r many programs that aren’t completely removed:)
