Thanks for the prompt reply. I went to Norton's web site and did a search
for "uninstall" and naturally it didn't return that page! Wish me luck.

Try the Norton Uninstall Tool here:

Yes, Norton has become a real nuisance of a system. Even after running
the tool, and you think you've got it all, you'll probably find lots of
folders and files and registry entries scattered all over.

Forgive the crosspost

I have Norton Internet Security Suite 2004 and Norton is having a lot of
trouble renewing my subscription so I would like to uninstall Norton
Anti-virus (or the whole thing if necessary). How can I do it? When I
go to XP's add/remove programs and click uninstall a box comes up asking
if I want to reinstall or modify Norton. Given those choices I selected
modify and it only lets me set parental control etc. and says nothing
about uninstall. There is no uninstall program listed in the Norton
folder. I even tried to do it in the safe mode and when I click
uninstall in the add/remove programs section I get an error message that
says Norton has detected that I am in the safe mode and I should reboot
the normal way and try again there. It's precisely the kind of stuff
that makes me want to get rid of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks... Bob
