    Hello,

    I need to remove Norton Anti-Virus 2005 because it interferes with my
    service provider's anti-virus. In my ME computer, I choose Start -
    Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. I see Anti-Virus 2005,
    but when I choose 'Add/Remove', the program is not removed. Windows
    displays no indication of removing anyhting (As it usually does when
    removing programs by stating 'removing files, DLLs', etc..), and when I
    invoke Add/Remove programs, Norton Anti-Virus reappears.

    When I choose Start- Program, neither Norton Anti-Virus, nor
    Symantec,is there. Thus, it is mainly removed, but not completely. For
    example, when I execute 'regedit', I see many Symantec settings.

    How can I completely remove Norton Anti-Virus 2005 from my ME
    machine?

    Should I remove all of the Symantec settings from the registry?
    (I don't use any Symantec product other than Norton).

    Also, perhaps I need to remove Norton Anti-Virus completely by removing
    registry settings other than the 'Symantec' ones.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    BASIS Consultant
