Well, This is actually not a real problem, not like some of them on here....I shudder when I see just WHAT can happen.... I was checking the registry and I found some 47 Symantec "bits" there. I had Symantec on the computer, at one time, but deleted it when I purchased McAfee Total Protection....At least I thought I'd deleted it. My question is can I safely delete the 47 bits of Symantec from the registry? I hope so. Anyway, thanks for any information you can give me.... |

Norton is notorious for leaving behind traces of itself. Before fiddling with the registry, try the Norton Removal tool.
There is a thread devoted to the tool here at BC. (link below) Scroll down to post number 5 by Quietman. The link to the latest version is there. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic34671.html It is advised that you back up your registry before running the tool.

Thanks so much. I will be sure to back up the registry. With the way I do things, I'd better...
