How to completely remove Symantec Antivirus Corporate edition

[Luis]

I have Win XP Pro and uninstalled Symantec Antivirus to installed Norton 2007
but when i tried a message saying that i have Symantec Antivirus and that it
has to be removed first, appeared. I already checked my HD for any left file
but i still got the problem.

Thanks!

Figgs provides sound advice, however the removal tool may also fail as the Symantec button may tell you that you need a password to remove it.

We need to know exactly what version(s) of Norton/Symantic was installed. Examples are given below:

NAV Norton Antivirus 4.x / 5.x
NAVCE Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition 7.0x 7.5x 7.6x
SAVCE Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 8.0x 8.1x 9.x
SSC Symantec System Center (from CE 7.x / 8.x / 9.x)
AMS Alert Management System (from CE 7.x / 8.x / 9.x)
SCF Symantec Client Firewall 5.x 7.x

Should NSRT fail, provide the exact version(s) of Norton and we'll take it from there.

Good Luck!

Let me know if NSRT works and if not, I'll use a different approach.

Good Luck!

Howdy, Figgs and you're most welcome. Nah, no 'hidden' nom de plume, just haven't been around the newsgroups for a while. Me thinks you know where I've been hanging out. )
Best of Luck!

Been using Symantec Corp edition since version 7 and never had a
problem, over 3000 nodes since those days. Still using 10.1 and 10.0,
although I have seen issues with the reporting service on 10.2.

A savvy user may get away with using a Corporate Edition without problems. The only version of Norton that anyone 'in the know' would recommend is a Corporate Edition. Having said that, you'll still experience the drain it puts on your system resources and should a malware attack hit your registry and damage it, look out, you've got problems.

My personal opinion is that Norton, McAfee and AOL (among others) are to be avoided. Having 'hands on' experience removing Norton from infected systems, McAfee slowing systems and sending them in boot loops and AOL not only being slow but installing unnecessary garbage 'free of charge' that interferes with already installed security software, I can't recommend any of them. It's amazing how smooth and fast a system runs after having removed them.

Should the Corp. Edition work for you, so be it. You're an experienced user who practices safe hex and has survived quite some time without issues. Kudos for that.

Best of Luck!

The Corp Edition puts less load on the system than any other product
I've used anywhere. The idea of Symantec/Norton loading CPU down is not
true with the "Symantac Antivirus Corporate Edition for Workstations and
Servers" - it's less load than most other products.

There are multiple Corporate versions, Client Security being one - I
don't like them, just the "Corporate Edition For Workstations and
Servers" version.
