Cant remove norton!

[homerz]

I have Windows 2000 and i have Norton Internet Security installed. I want to uninstall it but it keeps telling me that i must be an administrator to be able to remove it. It also tells me the same thing when i try to change any option in it. Well in Windows 2000 i only have one account on my pc and it's an administrator. Is there a way i can remove it? Thanks.

Delete the Norton folder could help or get onto your admin account.

Simply deleting the Norton Internet Security folder won't harm the system but NIS really hooks into your system... there are tons of Symantec related files scattered through all kinds of hidden and obscure places, not to mention a gazillion registry entries. Tracking that all down to delete those as well is a big pain.

Unfortunately, this may be your only solution in the long run if all attempts to uninstall normally fail. I had the exact same problem when I was running Win2K and tried to uninstall NIS. If you're uninstalling because you need to re-install then don't worry, delete away

Wait! There's another way!

First, you need to remove Norton Antivirus manually using Rnav2003.exe

THEN, you can uninstall Norton Internet Security with the RnisUPG.exe utility
