I got anxious and did it using Norton's tool. Followed that with CCleaner. So far so good. Windows Defender and Firewall both seem to be happy. Boot time is noticeably faster. That's a plus.
But, my original problem of the two website log-in failures are still with me. Oh well ... at least I'm shed of Norton.
If anything crops up over this I will update the thread.
Thanks guys. Y'all have a good day.
LOL, Norton don't give up easily. I started getting download dialogs wanting to install a new version of NIS. Took me another chat session with a remote connection to get rid of a lot of left behind trash. Hopefully this is the end of it. We'll see ...
Yes they were helpful and knew what he was doing.
Now I'm wondering how long Defender is going to keep running scans. Just finished the third one since enabling it. I've got to be sanitary by now!
I have used "Comcast Free" version of Norton Security Suite and "reinstalled and uninstalled many times". The advanced, uninstall only tool works just fine. However, you still will find registry entries if you run Ccleaner afterwords.
I'm trying out Windows Defender's latest offering.
Just had Defender do a full scan. Another reboot will come soon enough. I'll probably add something to go "with it" before it's over.
The Removal Tool got nearly everything. But then the attempt by Norton to download and install another 32 bit version put a lot of stuff back. That alone was enough to convince me I didn't want it anymore.
That program's a lot like a Digital STD! Hard to get rid of.
In deed,
Norton's server pings your machine since day one and the H key is still there. The IP link must be killed. The solution is in Regedit or in Firewall. Revo lets you safely search registry: screenshot
Is there other product(s) that you have from them that may help to search registry? You need to fully disable the IP link. It is the only job left.
The Pro version of Ccleaner (14 days) may give better results. Activation requires Internet.
