I cannot completely uninstall norton. I have followed all
thgeir instructions and evn used their removal tools from
the site. my registry is still full of symantic items.
This is causing NT On Access scanner error for McAfee.
Does anyone know how to completely uninstall? Norton CS
is slow and next to worthless (at least by email) McAfee
keeps singing the same tune "contact Norton" for
uninstall instructions. Right now, my anti virus software
is of questionable value. Do I have to cancel McAfee
since I preiously used Norton? It seems that way. ANy
advice would be appreciated.
