What about in the programs menu? Start -> All Programs -> Norton .... No uninstaller there? Also, this is more risky, but.... If you go into your C: drive, go to Program Files -> Symantec or Norton , and find your software that you want to uninstall... Next, look in the folders (in norton) for uninstall.exe  ...

      Simple solution!  just install your old virus program again this will repair any missing parts, now you can uninstall it properly.
