Norton Removal Tool Software

  1. Symantec Norton Removal Tool Download
  2. Norton Removal Tool Vista Software

Hello,

I am trying to uninstall an expired copy of Norton Internet Security (10.1.0.26) from an Acer laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium.

Download Free Trials of Norton software plus free Norton tools, including our free virus removal tool Norton Power Eraser and free Norton Password Manager. Download Norton Removal Tool - SymNRT for Windows to remove non-functioning Norton applications.

I used the Programs and Features icon in the Control Panel. Shortly after clicking 'Remove All' and then 'Next' I receive the error:

'Install failed. Gathering error information. This may take several minutes.'

Download Norton Removal Tool. Software to completely remove Norton products from your system. Norton Removal Tool can be used to remove a failed Norton installation or a damaged product completely. At last check, the Norton Removal Tool uninstalls all Norton products from 2003 on. Since then, it's not updated, so you might consider a generic uninstaller like IOBit Uninstaller to remove this and other programs completely and correctly. The Norton Removal Tool is designed to remove all Symantec programs from your machine, including Norton AntiVirus, Norton Ghost, Norton Password Manager, Norton 360, and all other Norton programs. 5 Click on “Finish” when the Norton Removal Tool informs you that all Norton programs have been successfully removed.

After several minutes, a dialog with the title 'System Information' appears saying:

'Refreshing System Information ...'

Symantec Norton Removal Tool Download

with a progress bar. After several more minutes a dialog titled 'CD not Found' appears asking me to:

'Please insert your Norton Internet Security CD to continue.' and '.SupportSPBBCSPBBC32.msi'.

Not having a CD, I click 'Cancel', after which I received the following error:

'The uninstallation encountered an error and was unable to remove...

You will now be directed to the Symantec Support website. 9999, 172'

Windows

I clicked on the 'Send' button and a dialog appears sending information to Symantec and I am taken to a Symantec web page. The dialog finishes stating:

'The transfer operation completed successfully. Thank you for helping improve your Symantec product.'

The web page instructs me to download and run the Norton Removal Tool. I download and run the tool and receive the following error after clicking the 'Next' button:

Norton Removal Tool Vista Software

'The version of Norton Removal Tool that you are using is expired.

Please click the following Web link for help.

Software

So I click on the link and am taken to a web page which instructs me, as step 1, to 'Run a tool that deletes Windows temporary files'. I click on the 'RUN IT NOW' button which pops up a window with the following message:

'Clean Windows Temp Files

To remove temporary files from your computer

Automated task failed.: You must run this tool as an Administrator. Please right click the Internet Explorer shortcut, and then click run as administrator. If you receive this same message, please log in to an account that has Administrator rights and re-run this action'

Norton malicious software removal tool

So I close all Internet Explorer windows (after copying the URL to the clipboard) and then I run Internet Explorer by right-clicking on it's shortcut and clicking 'Run as administrator'. I paste the URL into the address bar and shortly thereafter receive the same error message above. The account I am logged in is the only Administrator account on the computer.

Any advice on how I might remove NIS would be appreciated.

Thanks.
