I have had problems with Norton Internet Security

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Have you checked/downloaded/run the Norton removal tools ?

It's a mess of a program & not worth the effort. What you are
going through isn't an isolated issue. It's prevalent with almost
all of the Norton Security product line. I could give you a long
and convoluted process that "Might" get it running. However,
it is probably wrong to help anyone get Symantec software to
work on their PC. The better answer is going to be to return the
product and get other solutions. A PC is for you to use, not to
administer non-stop to get something you paid money for to just
work.

This isn't a Norton/Symantec support venue. But, after XP it is
the most commonly requested 3rd-party program that users
come here to seek remedies.
