Norton Removal Tool 2011.0.1.8

Rated 40/50 by gerryf at Mar 25, 2008

Norton gets a lot of criticism for its software, but it sure does sell a lot of it. Let's all be fair--when it is working (usually when it is new), Norton stuff works pretty well. People complain it is bloated, hogs resources, etc. but on today's powerful machines that is not as big a problem as people make it out to be. That said, eventually, Norton products will go belly up and take your system with it. This is a great little tool to help you when (not if, but when) this happens. It doesn't always kill every little file, but it will generally take it out of your system and leave what's left as inert

WTF??? Do they have to release this every week? NORTON, can you just shutdown your whole Antivirus?

After using the Norton Removal Tool, my computer does not recognise my camera any more. I tried to activate the camerawindow with the software of Canon but did not succeed. Is there anyone who knows this problem and what can I do. The USB-port works correct.

what other company needs to create a program to fix the problems created by their other faulty software? Norton, once proud and mighty... you've been a pile of c**p for far too long now. NEVER EVER EVER INSTALL NORTON PRODUCTS ON YOUR MACHINE.

Such a joke. A fairly bad joke that continues to be told even though nobody is laughing.

if you are unfortunate to have Norton on your computer then you MUST have this too!

This tool is quite literally a gift from God. There is no way Symantec developed this... It's works too well! 5/5 for a piece of software from symantec that actually works properly and does exactly what it's supposed to do! *If it "hangs" it's because it's trying to auth the version # online... Suggest you disconnect from the net before using it.*

well, systemworks i hate, never worked for me, i guess that removal tool is for that one. but norton internet security is the best of all, using nis i never got a virus messing up my system, nis catch them before they can say hello, lolz, cant say that about the other security suites i tested for a while. yeah, i know, you guys are going to say, nis is heavy and resource eater, truth, but that was once, now, since nis 2007 its quite light and still the best around. i recommend, give it a try, anyway, if you still dont like it, well, you got that removal tool...

It's actually quite cynic that this is Symantecs only tool that's worth getting. Feel so pity with all those poeple that need this.

I can see why someone would want to use this to fix a damaged installation of a Symantec product, but why in the world would someone be insane enough to not want a Symantec product (such as Norton Antivirus)? Symantec makes the fastest and most accurate antivirus, firewall and system utility software ever created and they always have. Unless you're broke why go for inferior free software (such as AVG) instead of Symantec software?

It thoroughly cleans norton out of your system. none hat I'm ware of. I owned three other computers that I eventually trashed and each one retained remnants of un-operable norton tools that continued to remind me of things that I could no longer execute because I refused to pay their outreagous prices then I was told that you can't get all of norton out of your system once it's installed then I ran upon this (as my newest computer had norton in it) and after uninstalling through conventional means I followed through with this removal tool and to date no pop-ups, no indications during system information and most importantly, no remnants in my registry.. It's a very good free product.

"highly recommended to norton non-users" completely removed all norton's pc resource, eg, ram, cpu, crunching application that's really taking its heavy weight toll on an old laptop serviced & total deletion of 'symtdi.sys' causing BSOD to normal system boot process for the umpteenth time! absolutely none even if norton offered a good working link where an updated version to supersede an expired (yet existing?) removal tool/software; norton's being fair enough to issue/publish such an indispensable removal tool/software to completely delete norton's application on any pc, eg, installed as an OEM bundled software;

A good tool for removing one of the most intrusive pieces of software ever made, next to maybe 'Real player' of five years ago. I wouldn't put Norton on my worst enemy's PC... Well maybe on just one persons PC. Do yourselves a favor & use Eset, removed in 2 minutes flat, if you would ever wont to remove it that it.

"Useless and Expired" There are no pros When you download this "tool" you'll get a message "this tool is expired please visit the Norton's (rather crappy) website. Don't waist your time...Good luck getting rid of Norton!

Best Symantec product ever, takes about a fifth of the time compared to the standard uninstallers too.

Only 5 star review i ever saw here. This does the job. You never see a removal tool for McAfee, which uninstalls with ease if u have to. So whats that telling you.
