Symantec/Norton stuff generally works pretty well, but getting rid of it is nearly impossible without deleting Windows and re-installing from scratch.
It's extremely invasive.

| AztecGold11 Member  514 Posts 8/05 |  Posted - May 17 2006 : 10:32AMI just downloaded the free Zone-Alarm, as my 2nd firewall. Recently I bought Nortons Personal Firewall 2006-it would not install. I checked the Ad-Remove list and found Nortons PF 2005, which I tried to uninstall (had no idea that I had this). It will NOT uninstall, so I contacted Norton (Symantec) via email for help. They told me to run a program that would uninstall ALL Nortons products, including my Norton System Works 2005. I did this-it would NOT work because it said that 1st I must uninstall Win-Fax Pro. I checked Ad-Remove, NO Win-Fax Pro. Looked all over my PC and can not find it. Back to Symantec-they gave me the most ridiculous list of how to proceed from here. It is beyond my experience, and I would surely destroy my PC. The ironic thing is that I doubt that the 2005 Norton Firewall is even working-I never get a pop-up asking me about accepting anything. Bottom line: I'm out $60 and have 2 firewalls. Will NEVER buy anything from Norton again! [Link] |

Yeah, "keys" are supposed to be in the right-side window, but in this case you want to get rid of the entire folder. For example, open the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" folder, find and open the "Software" folder, then find and delete the "Delrina" folder. [Link] |
