    Instructions on Manually Removing Norton Files from System Registry
    I have tried to uninstall 2005 Norton Internet Security through the add and remove option of windows as well as use the removal tool that Norton provides but I still have issues with Norton files listed in the registry. Do you know where I can get directions for manually removing the remaining files listed in the system registry? I’m using Windows XP Provisional Second edition.

    Thanks

    Try running Regedit via Run, go to edit, then find, search for Symantech, then delete them all, then search for Norton, then delete them all too, that should get rid of them.
