I'm getting that error code in Norton 360 and it looks to be coming from an old Lexmark s500 printer that i no longer use and no longer have.

Looking into the C: drive there is a lexmark folder and if i open it, there is a drivers folder and then several folders in there is well.

Problem is I have already uninstall the lexmark program using the Win 7 uninstall system...so there are no more Lexmark options to uninstall....but this error still continues to show.

There are no other printers install on this system

how do i fix this error?

how do i completely get rid of the lexmark folder/files on the C: drive?

thanks for any help

If you've uninstalled it delete the folder. Check devices and printers. If the icon is there delete it
