How to persuade someone to remove Norton antivirus? This isn't my PC although I'm allowed to do many things on it. I have to ask permission to remove programs. I know norton antivirus (better called virus) is very bad for the PC. However my mum doesn't get the point. I've even shown her experts opinions and she still won't budge. How do I persuade? The PC is dying and I know Norton is one of the things that helps that. It would be much more preferable to use ESET NOD32. Thanks.

Please help remove Symantec AntiVirus Client!? I am trying to install McAfee security programs on my computer, and I can't because one previous antivirus file cannot be removed. I've gone through Add / Remove Programs to remove Symantec programs. One file will not be removed (Symantec AntiVirus Client). I have used the Symantec/Norton uninstall program from their site, and it didn't work either. Their customer support was of no help, as they referred me back to this program that did not work and suggested that I hire someone to remove it. When I used the Add/ Remove Programs function, I click on it, click Remove, confirm that I want to remove it when prompted. Then, it says, "Please wait while ... is configured." I see the hourglass indicating that it's working. Then, it stops. I've restarted the computer numerous times, and I cannot get it to remove. I cannot reinstall the program to remove it (as has been suggested before). I do not have the original software. Please be specific about what to do. Thanks! Thanks for the suggestions so far! Unfortunately, I was not able to remove it in safe mode, and I may end up getting the AVG program... I'd really like to get the McAfee program that is offered through my internet provider, since it also comes with a firewall, though. Any other ideas for removing Symantec?
