I got a new pc for Christmas. It's on Windows Xp sp2 the thing is it has Norton Suite installed with a free 90 day trial. It's already annoying me (I hate Norton) and I want to remove it. It doesn't appear in the add/remove programs list...so how do you uninstall it? It would be appreciated if you could tell me.

just delete it and get rid of the registry items ....

Did it come with an installation CD? If not, try to go  to C:\Program Files\Norton or w/e it's installed bcz sometimes it comes with an uninstaller that doesn't show up on the add/remove programs list.

It's not as simple as that, Norton is specifically designed so that CAN'T happen. It IS an anti-virus o.o

Is that really safe? Plus knowing me I will probably screw something up.

Edit : That's why it's not safe/useful.

This is what Norton says in the Readme :

If you need to uninstall Norton Internet Security, do
not use uninstall products like Norton CleanSweep.
Norton Internet Security includes an uninstaller that
is specifically designed to correctly uninstall Norton
Internet Security.

To access the uninstaller, use Start / Settings Control
Panel / Add/Remove Programs.

If you have installed the Accounts and Parental Control
features, you must be using a Supervisor account to
uninstall Norton Internet Security.

Note: If you are uninstalling the product with the
intention of installing an older version, you should
uninstall all Symantec programs first. 

...there is no uninstaller.

lol, I hate it, It worked for me, the whole registry thing did and deleting it ... thats why i don't have it anymore ^_^.... have you been on the norton site to see if therer are any instructions for uninstall, or the site that your computer is made by.. I'm not sure.

I doubt Packard bell would suggest anything useful but I will look on the Norton site now.

*Bump

There isn't an installer to be found please help.

the delete and registry is what your going to have to do... if there ins't an unistaller...

Try using advanced uninstaller...you can get it from www.downloads.com...it may show up there
