Uninstallation of "Norton Internet Security"
Hi there,
I have just purchased (day before yesterday) an Inspiron 1150. After immediately installing XP SP2 and experiencing the resulting slowdown, then fixing it with the requisite patch, I now feel I want to get rid of the invasive Norton Internet Security that was inflicted on me at purchase time. I have alternative programs that are independant and can be started when I need them.
I have spent quite a while in the past assisting people in the removal of these Symantec programs... is this version the same - in that it will not fully uninstall of it's own accord?
If so, does anyone know of a removal tool I can use?
I cannot do a system rollback, as it came pre-installed.
Thanks for any feedback,
Stewart

I particularly like the necessity for a 187kb .reg hack to remove 800 lines from the registry. No wonder this suite slows the machine down.
I think I'll stick with SPF and AVG ;^)
Thanks for the response...
