How to uninstall Norton Antivirus 2006 Beta (buggy & jams MS Office)?
Hi everybody I fell for the Norton website puff, and installed the Norton Antivirus 2006 Beta or at least tried to. It crashed 3x during installation, creating Symantec error logs in zip format, and never fully loaded.
Hi everybody
I fell for the Norton website puff, and installed the Norton Antivirus 2006 Beta -- or at least tried to. It crashed 3x during installation, creating Symantec error logs in zip format, and never fully loaded. Using XP Home SP2 with latest updates.
But I can't uninstall it either - stuck in limbo. There is no Antivirus 2006 uninstall program, and it doesn't show up in Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs.
Now can't reinstall my former functioning NAV 2004 which still had over a year time paid for, because says there is a more recent version of Norton Antivirus installed on the system.
When I try to open a document in MS Office which worked fine yesterday, now Symantec Antivirus 2006 blocks MS Office 2000, saying "NAV was unable to scan your computer for infections because some NAV components are missing. 3019,6" (this leads to a useless Symantec website). I can't open any of my MS Office documents at all.
Symantec hasn't responded to email or fax, and no info on Symantec's website. ... "you are forewarned ..."
Any suggestions on how to uninstall Norton Antivirus 2006?
Thanks much

Ryck, is photogallery a needed program, if not then remove it using add/remove program in control panel. If you need to keep it then do this instead.
Go to start and to run and type in services.msc and then use the the extended look and look for photogallery. Right click on it and then click on properties and change the startup type to manual and click on apply.
That should prevent it from starting up on it's own until you actually to run it.
