Quick Answer, how do I remove AntiVirus software from my MacBook air? No matter where the Norton product was purchased, the Norton Removal Tool will still work.
Any damaged installations due to viruses or upgrade problems can be removed as well.
You will have two uninstall options: saving the settings for reinstallation, or uninstalling completely.Īlso know, why can’t I remove Norton from my computer? This often happens due to computer processing errors, an incomplete download or having an older version of Norton still on the system. This button will open the integrated application uninstaller. In the open window, search for Norton AntiVirus, highlight it and click Uninstall/Change. Subsequently, how do I completely remove Norton? Right-click Start > Programs and Features.
You might try going back to a restore point earlier than the one you selected for the first try.Īlso, did you try DennisD's suggestion to reinstall and then uninstall?Īlso, the DeCrapifier just seems to use Nortons Own uninstaller. Not very informative, but it suggests that there may be some other problem not related to the Norton installation. The attached pictures show a bit about the remote chat assistance Norton uses. Lotsa reg entries left after the uninstall completes. I installed and uninstalled 3 times altogether. I WOULDN"T HAVE DONE IT except that I had Returnil active. You have to give them remote control of your computer. Very nice, helpful person, actually called me on the phone.
I installed norton's free trial on a VM (VM runs WXP pro, sp2.), and got an error, so asked the online chat helper try to fix it. I actually did visit one of the offices, sort of. You gotta back off on that coffee a little, AA. Have you thought of visiting the Norton head office and smashing the machine over an executives head.
Re: Anthony As' post - precisely where is Nortons head office - and does anybody wish to join me in a communal laptop/arse shoving excercise?!!! OK they should have been tick boxes but, when posted, it all went out of alignment Grr
The 'shut down' button was showing that it had downloaded some Windows updates and it's now installing them before it switches off.Īnd it's goodnight from me.and goodnight from him!! Left in 'post Windows logon screen' mode - ( you remember, it's a blank grey screen with the 'arrow' cursor), for 20 minutes and went back to switch it off using Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring the options screen up.
Hopefully you can do that as sometimes that also means Safe Mode won't work either.įinal update as I'm now getting really pi**ed off with the damn machine! Have you thought of visiting the Norton head office and smashing the machine over an executives head and than shoving the broken pieces up his arse? I think that would fix the problem Oh Waite his head is probably already up his arse so you will have to put the machine up there in one piece to smash it over his headīoot into Safe Mode, then System Restore to an earlier date. Once again thanks for all your suggestions - looks like I'll have to get a 'techy' friend of my daughters to look at it, although he too thought that reverting to an earlier SR point should have sorted it. What would happen if we went to buy a new car and were told that you can only have it with lime green leather upholstery - that would soon be outlawed!!! I totally agree with everyones' opinions on Norton forcing themselves on consumers. Thank you but, in spite of all your help, it still won't work! I successfully restored it to the restore point I created just before attempting the uninstall, but still didn't manage to get it to boot up any further.
