Removing Norton Anti-virus from PC.

Jun 20, 2004 2:37PM PDT

Can someone tell me how to remove or uninstall Notorn Anti-Virus from my computer? I am using Windows XP. It slows down my computer, and there doesn't seem to be a norton uninstall button or application. Any help would be appreciated.

After you perform the uninstall through the add/remove programs, do a search and remove any entries you find. There can be data/folders left behind.

Use RNAV. It's the Norton provided uninstall utility. Look around on an NAV cd for it. Otherwise, its online im sure.
