TomV Moderator Reg: Apr Kudos 1 Stats. Hi helpingfriend, Welcome to the community! Here is the link to the post. This thread is closed from further comment. Please visit the forum to start a new thread. I went through the steps word for word and im so glad i walked away the night before. So far Norton is gone and Mcafee which stays out the way sucures my pc.
Thank You for saving the destruction of my pc. Then to put the hatchet into any possible remains, use the Norton Removal Tool as was also mentioned above.
Look for any Norton or NIS entries in the far right column. Delete those entries from the registry entry in the left column. Then restart. Then you can delete the Norton folder in program files x Thanks, your article should also tell about SymSilent. Why is this garbage is preinstalled on computers?!! The Symantec folks who make Norton are sadly just getting people used to the abusive way that malware and spam and the like works.
Thankfully, the Linux operating system is just that. And malware is far far less of a problem on Linux. For laptops and desktops, try Ubuntu Linux. And it integrates over 30, different free software packages to do everything most anyone needs, for one-touch installation. I am sooooo very very grateful for your information on website, I remove the this monstrous Norton scan battling me the whole day, a lot of other sites tells me to download Norton removal tools, it never worked, just make me go in circles, download em and it was never removed.
Ever since that monster Norton scan was installed to my pc without my consent, it was a nightmare, for days on end my pc was frozen, pop ups ads all over, I was so exhausted, until I found your site.
Some step by step instruction to open files and rid em one by one, like disgusting pest, I am sooo happy now, seem my pc is function fast and normal like before.
I recommend never to use norton again, ever!! My first time was today on your site and Dave…. And I just became your groupie!!!! This guy really wants us to solve our issues. Way to go, rock star. In Norton antivirus came with the package…free 30 days..
Took my laptop back to factory settings recently. My laptop is acting worse than ever…like its all clogged.. I keep the fans clean. Iola came back as a reallly light icon in my program files but not in control panel AVG is in both places. Does this have to be done before I kick Norton out? Am i making sense? Sorry for such a long letter Step 4 and 5 My program files only lists folder name, date modified and size of the folder. Will it say something like sym or nav or do i open up each folder also?
Step 6 I have no case sensitive option.. Thanks Dave. I would like to say thank you for your information on removing the Norton off of my sons computer. It was very informative to get into the details of this program off of the computer. Excellent Work. There was one thing you left out. The Norton back-up files.
It was very easy to delete though. Not going to need that anymore. And in the process I got back over 22 gigabites back on my hard drive. Have heard that it has improved a lot over its previous versions.
Hence would like to give it a try if I can win. I have tried to use Norton pc checkup numerous times but it keeps getting stuck on performance for hours and will not progress any further. One thing that seems to be strange on the performance during scan,the result was excellant,but for that one time,the status changed to good, Would like to know what was done in that the status change so?
There is no help section on the program in which I can get some assistance,as on the NIS Can anyone help me on this situation? It looks nice but it is crap!
