    Removing Symantec...
    I've tried to reinstall Nortons 2003 and I got an error, it's looking for the orton Aniti Virus LABEL (whatever that is, thinking it's the original CD) but I have this burned copy of Nortons that I just in case I misplace or break the original copy (with I happen to do), no I can't reinstall the program.
    I just deleted the reg keys and anything that had to do with norton or symantec, which was all fine an dandy till I rebboted the computer. This stupid computer after rebooting backed up the reg keys and all the crap I had just deleted.
    So now I have all the stuff back on the computer and it's looking for things like "C:\PROGRA~\SYMANTEC\SYMVNT.386 (w/e that is... pretty sure that's not on the computer either.

    There's got to be a better way to deal with this... any help would be appretiated.

    Symantic
    Norton 'stuff' can be a nightmare to remove,as it gets stuck in the registry,hidden files,and eventually causes a case of "boot through the monitor" syndrome in the worst case. :D

    As suggested by ScottGem at an earlier forum response,visit this site:

    http://search.symantec.com/custom/us/query.html

    In the search box,type RNAV and click search.Have a good look around,it might help.

    Don't know if your problem of install has anything to do with the fact that your using a back-up (burnt copy),but Norton is an odd beast to mess with.

    Good look my friend,
    Nez.

    Rnav
    Well I went to that site you suggested and got what I was looking for, which is great and all thanks

    I just have one question about this other part...

    How can I remove the C:\Progra~1\synantec\symevnt.386
    I did a search... it's a dll but as soon as I remove it, my computer will (after the reboot) load the backups again and I'm back at square one lol.
