Not going to go in deep details, but I just removed this behemoth from myI too did the same thing. The major difference on both my Win98se and WinXP
system. Before I removed it I have around 60 processes running, after
uninstalling I now have around 49.
Took a crow bar and dynamite to get rid of. The uninstall failed so I
downloaded the Norton Removal Tool from their website. After running it 3
times, I still had over 40 registry entries that I had to manually remove.
And I am sure there are more that are deeply embedded.
My system runs and loads so much faster.
I had been blaming I.E. for lots of browsing issues (slow page loads, 404
errors, etc) now none of that. Truly like a new PC.
Been using Norton products for over 15 years, but no more. Been scanning
weekly for virus for years and never had one. I am behind a router, so a
firewall is not needed. I know what sites not to visit to avoid malware.
(Though I do run Windows Defender)
machines was how fast they now boot up.
Had to search the registry for Symantec and then Norton. Literally hundreds
of entries after using removal tool.
I have been using Norton products since 1985. Still have his "Programmers
guide to the IBM PC". That was my bible in the MASM days.
I don't completely trust the NAT router so I use ZoneAlarm free edition, AVG
antivirus and SpywareBlaster.
