Want to Uninstall Norton AV 2007

[Emory]

 After using Norton AV for sometime, now, I have decided to remove it and install Avast. What is the proper method to uninstall this so no future problems will arise. Thanks.

I have decided to remove it

Congratulations!!

The best way to get rid of it, is to use this tool: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

Thanks Broni and Patio.

Uh, wait, Broni's post has me confused:  What's so bad about Norton?

Edit in reply to bottom post:  Heh, enough said.

[Broni]

What's good about Norton?

I prefer to refer to it as Symantec... Peter Norton was an old time hero in my mind.
I believe if he had to do it all over again he still may have sold out but not put his name on it.

The above is merely opinion and in no way constitutes a statement of fact as interpreted in a legal sense.

only thing good with Norton is it's name?

AVG or AVAST beats norton since you can get free version of their programs with the automatic scanning and updating (As you probably already knew)

Commodo firewall, AVG or AVAST, Microsoft Windows Defender and either spybot or A-squared free or Ad-Aware on hand ---> that is my arsenal of computer protection. Enough?

My reason to uninstall NortonAV 2007, probably is simplistic.
     
   1. Impossible to contact anyone at Symantec for help. Seeking help thru
           their troubleshooting programs is futile.

   2. My problem is:  I cannot run their Updates in "Live Updates" When I
       run the Updates, now for "2 months" I get nothing but Errors, No. 1812
       and 1806.

    3. Following Norton's procedure: HOT FIX, i GET nothing, only message I
        get is "USE LIVE UPDATES AGAIN IN TWO WEEKS"  @%$#&

    4. This is what I pay for!  Anyone have anything on this?

No. We don't use it
