Norton Removal Tool will remove a failed installation or a damaged Norton product. It uninstalls all Norton 2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products from your computer. If you use ACT! or WinFAX, back up those databases before you proceed.

I tried this today, on the SAV Corp. version, and the thing insisted that I use Add/remove programs to remove the application, which wasn't working to begin with, and the reason for using this to begin with.. -- I had to go through the system, and kill it manually. then ran it again, and there was still a ton of Symantec junk in the system folders, and registry.,.

Does exactly what it advertises - and is fairly thorough. Doesn't get ALL Norton traces, but 99% ain't bad. And it's a helluva lot better than CA (no removal tool that works), AVG (broken removal tool), McAfee (not bad, but not as good as Norton) or ZoneAlarm (none and uninstaller doesn't work more often than not). For those bagging Norton - probably worth trying it again. It isn't 2006 anymore, and Norton's 2009-2010 product is arguably the fastest integrated product on the market (NIS, not 360).

"ONE MORE REASON TO HATE NORTON EVEN MORE" Norton are the pros really in conning people. Norton is too smart to allow you to remove it from your system. It will only remove Norton from your system if you have purchased a new version and enter the licensed serial number. I still have pop-ups that don't allow me to use firefox and I know it's Norton's cheap gimmick in the name of Internet Security. I'm through with Symantec and will never purchase Norton Anti-Virus again. God, plese help me get rid of Norton!

Can anyone say PEBKAC? If Symantec software won't uninstall the normal way then it's probably a mistake the user made, not Symantec's mistake.

Norton is gone! Pain in the behind, and the fact we even need a tool to uninstall says it all. Norton (Symantec) is the devil! I hate their company and will never buy anything related to it. As for this software It sucks, but I got it to work. (Sad you even have to go through this crap!) Anyway, I had to run msconfig and disable USC (User Account Control) which forces users that are part of the local administrators group to run like they were regular users with no administrative privileges. (stupid function) The reason I had to disable USC is the link that you need to click on after you arrive to the page stating "The version of Norton Removal Tool you are using has expired," (sheesh) kept telling me that I needed to sign on as administrator. (Duh, I am the admin and was signed on as such) Then I disabled my firewall. This tool only removes certain versions of which apparently came pre-installed on the machine I was cleaning up for a friend. What a mess... Good luck. (bovinedung)

Best Norton Tool :)

Still the best Norton product made. New versions of Norton seem to uninstall pretty cleanly now, so I find myself needing this app less.
