How to Uninstall Norton – The Latest Way to Uninstall Norton from Your Computer
Norton is a popular security program, but there is a time when you need to uninstall Norton for a new installation. Sometimes, uninstalling programs from a computer is a very dirty business, because quite often bundled uninstallers can leave behind files and registry keys which are now useless and take up space or interfere with other programs still on your computer. The same things happen when you uninstall Norton.
Up until recently, the only choice computer users really had to get rid of Norton from their computer was to either use Window's standard built-in add/remove utility or to use a program's uninstall app. The problem is that for some reason Norton usually does not respond to Window's add/remove utility and do not offer an option to uninstall it from the hard drive.
Another problem many face is even if the add/remove utility works to uninstall Norton, it sometimes does not completely remove files and folders associated with it. This can cause a computer to run sluggishly or crash frequently.
A better option for uninstalling Norton plus any others that you no longer need or want on your computer is to purchase a program that specializes in uninstalling any unwanted program. An example of this type of programs is Perfect Uninstaller. Perfect Uninstaller is basically enhanced versions of the Windows add/remove utility. It is often faster, easier and more effective to uninstall Norton and other programs than using Window's built in solution.
Enter Perfect Uninstaller. This program helps get rid of Norton and cleans up after it in minutes.
First, it runs the uninstall process bundled with the program as normal.
Second, it scans your registry for any left-over values and gives you the option to delete them. Make sure you double check what is listed before deleting anything. If you are unsure of whether or not your machine will become unstable if the value is deleted, leave it alone.
Finally, it does a similar scan for left-over files, and then supplies a similar window for deleting them.
