« on: October 11, 2005, 03:55:07 PM »
okay, a week ago i installed my McAffe on this computer and tried to uninstall norton because norton is just annoying the *censored* out of me, but I need a PW and I never got a PW to uninstall it.

is there anyway around this?

If it's a legal Norton just call them perhaps? I have never heard of a PW for this program's uninstall.

did a Google for "Norton password to uninstall" and this was the first hit:

Google is your friend and you can do it, too!

    arielle..... Which version of Norton are you using ........  I came across this ..........it may assist you ...

    For unmanaged Norton AntiVirus CE installs, there is a GRC.DAT file available on Worf which will password protect the un-install of Norton AntiVirus CE version 9.x on a workstation. After installing Norton AntiVirus CE from the CD-ROM, FTP to worf.cc.mcgill.ca\sharedvol\pub\mcgill\navce\datfile, copy the GRC.DAT file from there to the \7.5 directory on NT/2000 workstations, or the \program files\Norton Antivirus directory on WIN9x workstations. The un-install of Norton AntiVirus CE version 9.x is now password protected.
    Just had another thought ....... you are the computer administrator aren't you .

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
