Uninstall NIS 2005?
How do I uninstall NIS 2005 from our notebook (WinXPsp3 / IE 7)?
Some say to use Add/Remove; others say to use a "Symantec NIS 2005 Removal Tool." If the "Symantec NIS 2005 Removal Tool" would be preferable, where would I find it? How do I remove remnants of NIS 2005 that might be left behind? Would using the "Symantec NIS 2005 Removal Tool" remove everything? I am novice! Thank you, Alice |

Hello Alice,
 I think this is what you are looking for... Norton ® Removal Tools. (Click the coloured Link.)  Kind Regards,

Re: Uninstall NIS 2005?
Thank you. Would you know which uninstall method is preferred for removing NIS 2005?
Using the Control Panel's Add/Remove, or the Symantec Removal Tool? I notice in the Add/Remove that there are four Norton Symantec files: LiveReg = 1.79 MB and LiveUpdate 3.0 = 7.09 MB. NIS = 38 MB and Norton Security Center = 4 MB) I guess if I had to use the Add/Remove, I would have to delete all 4 of them. Correct? ===== Quote:

Re: Uninstall NIS 2005?
Hi.
The norton removal tool would be the preferred method as removing using add/remove is likely to leave remnants of norton behind. This could cause problems when trying to install new security software

Re: Uninstall NIS 2005?
Thank you.
Would you (or someone else) know answer to part 2 of my question? Regarding the 4 Norton Files in the Add/Remove. I would like to know for my own information. Alice ==== Quote:

Re: Uninstall NIS 2005?
First use Add/Remove to uninstall everything related to Norton/Symantec . . Including the LiveReg, LiveUpdate and NIS . . Then run the Norton Removal tool to clean any remaining files/registry entries
