Each time I try to unistall my Norton antivirus protection on my laptop, the program seems to be stuck. Not sure if the fact that I am putting new software on my laptop because the Norton has expired has accrued a lot of issues within Norton that's making it take a long time to unistall.

You must have admin rights to remove anti-virus programs.

Download and run the norton uninstall tool .

The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls Norton AntiVirus, Norton Internet Security, Norton 360, and Norton SystemWorks 12.0 from your computer. If you use ACT! Or WinFAX, back up those databases before you proceed.

Go to this url and click on the version of norton you have currently on your PC and download that Norton Remover this will fix your issue.
