Depending on the window system you are running, go to control panel, select add or remove, scroll down until you find Norton Anti-virus, click on the program and click remove. Do the same with Norton's live update. That will un-install the program and you will need to restart the computer for the changes to take place.

If you cannot remove it via Windows Add and Remove Programs tool, Norton provides a free removal tool at their website:

SOURCE: norton anti-virus

YES IMHO, GET RID OF NORTON! IT IS YOUR MAIN PROBLEM! I HAVE NEVER LIKED NORTON AND HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH NORTON THAN ANY OTHER VIRUS SOFTWARE PRODUCTS COMBINED! I DO THIS ON AN EXPERT LEVEL AND HAVE TAUGHT COMPUTER I.T. AND THIS PRODUCT WILL CAUSE HAVOC WITH YOUR COMPUTER BY BLOCKING PROGRAMS YOU WANT TO USE AND PROGRAMS YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD. HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF USING AVG? IT IS A STRONG PROGRAM AND FREE TO USE AND NOT A PAIN TO USE AND HAS EVERY BIT AS MANY FEATURES AS NORTON. THIS IS JUST MY PERSONNAL OPINION, BUT I THINK YOU WILL HAVE A MUCH EASIER LIFE WITHOUT NORTON. IF I CAN HELP FURTHER JUST REPLY TO: ARCLIGHT1217

<p>Advantages & Disadvantages:-<br /> <p>Though Norton anti-virus products and its various versions are one of the best protection software, Norton anti-virus software has some advantages and disadvantages.<br /> <p> <br> <p>Advantages: -<br> <p>When Symantec redesign Norton for Widows compatibility, Norton becomes one of the best protection software in the market. With its every release Norton introduced new features or upgraded features. Norton release new versions almost every year. Some unique features of Norton anti-virus are Sonar protection, File Insight, Network Insight, Power Eraser tool etc. which provides more reliable protection against viruses and other malicious code. It can run at background to work silently. It will warn you before running or installing malicious programs. It can protect your computer spreading viruses from your Facebook feed, e-mail attachments. Simple user interface will help you to work more easily. Norton provides PC utility tool to tune-up your pc and Backup and Restore tool. You can solve your problems online from tech support, where you can find answers for possible problems, use-one-click-solution-first to solve your problems manually and customer help desk, where you can interact with tech support personnel for your query.<br> <p> <br> <p>Disadvantages:- <br> <p>While Norton offers variety of benefits to its users, there are also some drawbacks as well.

I renewed my Norton but my computer keeps saying I did not renew and has turned off my protection.

Uninstall Norton. Restart.

Download the _free_ Microsoft anti-virus software:
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
and install it.

Or, download the _free_ AVG anti-virus software:
http://free.avg.com
and install it.

I keep getting a message saying my account and protection has expired

Hi,
It means that you have to renew your subscription to Norton anti virus.
Otherwise, if you don't want to pay, uninstall norton completely and then install AVG anti virus which has a free version.

Can't update or even find eTrust EZ Anti Virus on my computer

I was using SBC Global while in California. I moved to Oregon and am currently using Comcast. The problem was that my anti virus was part of my SBC Global package. I was able to contact SBC Global where they informed me that they use Symantac which uses Norton anti virus. I was able to contact and download Norton uninstall tool to uninstall the anti virus. I also uninstalled the SBC Global software (AT&T Yahoo) and that enabled me to install new anti virus software.

I cant uninstall norton antivirus 2008

Norton Anti-Virus 2008 was made to not be uninstalled. It had integrated itself into your system files preventing Windows Installer from removing the anti-virus machine. Symantec has made this tool available to remove the product. However believe me when I say traces of Norton will remain until the hard-drive is reformatted.

http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

Once you remove Norton, I highly recommend you stop using Symantec products and check out ESET's product line of Anti-Virus and online-security tools.

My Norton anti virus has stopped working and will not activate

Bro, my suggestion is, you uninstall you Norton Anti-virus including the Symantec folder installation then install one that is free but can still perform as good as Norton. I am not saying NOrton Anti-Virus is a bad program but, it is systemic and slows down your computer a bit. Norton is a great product everybody kows that !!!! What i can share with you is that, try downloading AVG free or AVAST home edition for which, if you are connected to your net, they regularly send updates to your computer as long as you are registered and your key is up to date. If your Norton Anti-virus is notactivating, it only means one thing, it's not updated.
