Removing Norton completely from System





So Guys!!! Facing any issue with the Norton Antivirus??? Yes? Want to Un Install the software but are not able to do so? You might have observed that when you want to Install any other Antivirus Software on the system e,g Mcafee or PC Cilin or AVG,it prompts you to Un install Previous Version of Anti Virus installed on the system.

What to do in this case??? Simply follow the steps below:

1.Go to Add/Remove Programs, select Norton Product and click on Remove. Sometimes it says Uninstall Complete or you may recieve an error saying One or more files are in use.

2. Go to Start -> All Programs -> Norton and then click on Uninstall. It says it is Uninstalling the software but again something happens and un install fails.

3. Go to My Computer -> Local Disk C -> Program Files. Locate the folders for norton and delete them.

After all this hard work, you try installing the new Anti Virus again. It gets installed, you are lucky...doesn't get installed, don't worry...here is our next solution:
