One major issue that I have seen is that Norton Antivirus & Security Products don’t always uninstall cleanly. Often, in the past, they have left the computer unable to connect properly to the internet, or having odd symptoms…<\/p>\n

What I have found is using the custom Norton Uninstall Utility, works cleanly, and is often faster then using the Add\/Remove Programs control panel.<\/p>\n

The removal tool will remove the following software products from your computer.<\/p>\n

Norton AntiSpam 2004 – 2005 <\/li>\n
Norton Antivirus 2003 – 2007.2 <\/li>\n
Norton Ghost 2003, 9.0, and 10.0 <\/li>\n
Norton GoBack 3.1 – 4.2 <\/li>\n
Norton Internet Security 2003 – 2007.2 <\/li>\n
Norton Password Manager <\/li>\n
Norton Personal Firewall 2003 – 2006 <\/li>\n
Norton SystemWorks 2003 – 2007 <\/li>\n
Norton Confidential Online 2007 <\/li>\n
Norton Internet Security 2007 Add-on Pack <\/li>\n
Norton Save and Restore 1.0 – 2.0 <\/li>\n
Norton 360 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
