After downloading the update to sp2 my Norton Anti Virus would not work so I
deleted and tried to re-install but keep getting an error half way through
installation.What can I do to fix this problem. I am also running AVG and
Ad-Aware

Two anti-virus applications could be one too many. They are likely have
conflicts. Settle on one or the other. I personally use AVG Anti-Virus
Free Edition and it works just fine. I have never liked anything from
Symantec.

As far as I am aware, there is a removal tool on the Symantec website..
also, you should not run two anti-virus programs together..

Yes Symantec will give you an uninstall bunch of literature....
hopelessly complicated, and dangerous in that it requires
you to search the Registry and remove all their items one line
at a time.

William;

There is a removal tool on the Symantec website...download it, run it,
and you are done. No literature required. Don't know where you get your
information, but you need a more reliable source.

I've use Trend Micro's product at our office and at home.
I've had no problems with it whatsoever. The nice thing
is that it has everything you need. Shop around if you decide
to buy it. You can usually find it for less that the 49.95
listed on their site. Most importantly...it works.

Okay, NNBD.... I'll look there again......but their own Tech Support
people give me stuff that says "Start with Add/Remove Programs", and
then they go into their song and dance. They've never given me a
workable feasible procedure for uninstalling NSW2004.

Sorry to hear that the Norton Anti Virus didn't protect
your dad, James. As lousy as they are to work with,
I will say that they have done a 100% effective job of
protecting me.

if you think that norton and/or symantec is bad, mcafee is just as bad if not
worse. If you can, try to get your hands on a copy of Symantec AntiVirus
Corporate Edition 9.0. If you know someone who goes to college, ask them if
their school provides it to them and if they can get you a copy. It works
amazing, but only if you keep the virus def's up to date.

@004 has it's own uninstaller...under Control Panel...if it is not there,
simply install over itself and then uninstall.

Yes, and Symantec sent me TechSupp answers saying "But if
that doesn't work (and mine doesn't), follow these
directions........" And they follow with page after
page of instructions and links to about 35 pages if you print
them all out. And you have to print them all out because
you sure can't follow them online.

And I asked them, can I simplu re-install from the
original CD, and they said "No".

Been all thru this with them. You see, there is an
error message "LU1848" related to their Live Update
software, that is impossible to get rid of, without all that
rigamarole, and it prevents the uninstall. It's really
a Catch-22 ....

Theresa,
I too had conflict problems with Norton AV after SP2 install. By searching
the Symantec help site (difficult at times), I found the problem (for me) =
computer manufacturer had installed a "multi-boot" program. I followed the
directions and found how to change boot up options. Once fixed it worked ...
for a New York minute. For whatever reason, eventually AV stopped working,
re-install of AV did not work, and and I could not access other Symantec
programs (except Go Back and Personal Firewall. Then SP2 caused major
problems after about 10 days, including I/O problems and them loss of access
to Internet Explorer. SP2 Uninstall did not work (I even had CD), so I had
to START OVER - restore disk. Installed 512M pf more memory after XP SP1
stable. Then I found (difficult) a way around the constant reminder to
download SP2 AND get old SP1 updates. System purring now. Advise putting
off install of SP2 until the "bugs" are out.
