Problem with computer booting and norton antivirus

One of the dangers of aborting such an installation is having a handicapped system. The best advice I can give short of format and reinstall (which I often suggest although I try not to) is to see if you have a restore point from before installing Norton Antivirus.

Also, any Norton CD (or ISO *Stick Out Tongue ) with Norton AntiVirus is booteable, so you can scan your drives with the latest virus definitions avalable since the manufacture of said CD (or ISO).

 

Uninstall Norton Free Trial Antivirus from my Acer 3 Windows 10 computer

I decided to uninstall the free version of Norton Antivirus that came with my new Acer 3. I read several sites about doing this. All said I should use the Norton Removal Tool available on Support.Norton.Com. I went to this site and found there was no
such tool. The only similar tool available was the Norton Removal and Reinstall Tool. So, I used this to uninstall the Norton Antivirus on my computer. The Antivirus Program has been uninstalled, and no longer appears in my Programs list. Now, I am running
Windows Defender. Windows reports that my computer is now Protected and all parts of it have a green check box on them. However, I am repeatedly getting popups on my screen from Norton telling me to reinstall a new version of their program. There appear
to be two utilities that are displayed on my desktop. They are Norton Install Manager and Norton Install. I can't get rid of them. Does anyone know how to uninstall these utilities and get Norton to stop displaying their annoying popup. The popup is quite
large and covers the center of my desktop. I have repeatedly clicked the large "X" in the upper right hand corner, but it won't budge. Norton is insisting I go back to their Antivirus it seems. Does anyone know how to get rid of this Norton annoyance?

 

Problem with computer booting and norton antivirus

another problem for you guys....

my friend thought he had a virus on his computer so i tried to install nortan anti 2004 on it and it took forever and then never actually installed, got stuck on the last bit. Can't remember why but probably just got impatient and restarted it in the end (probably shouldn't have done that with hindsight).

now when ever you turn the computer on it is unbelievably slow, i'm talking like 30 min just to open a folder. It shows norton anti as being installed with the shortcut item on the desktop and the trash can as being protected but norton never actually starts properly.

First thought was to try starting in safe mode and uninstall norton, starts up fine in safe mode and works at normal speeds but when i go to uninstall norton antivirus it's not in the list of programs to uninstall. I've checked msconfig and there are deffinately the apps in there that start with norton so it's installed to an extent.

any advice on how i can actually uninstall norton and get my mates computer back upto the right working speed.

he's running win xp home btw

any help would be appretiated
