Uninstalling Systemworks 2005…

[slipd]

Hey guys,

Tonight I tried to remove NSW2005 (Subscription up) from my Dads machine and it wouldn’t let me

I tried from add/remove programs and it just would let me? It gave me an error and the choices of either; retry, ignore or abort?

I naturally chose ignore, and it let me uninstall as much as it could – it doesn’t seem to have left any real lasting impressions, just shortcuts etc, but the recycle bin still says its protected by Norton – even though there is no functionality?

I seem to remember a while ago, someone here claimed to have a tool/script to COMPLETELY remove all traces of anything Norton related from a machine

If so, can I have some names or links please

Cheers,

SW.

Hi,

First of all hopefully this is a lesson not to use Norton again (what sort of decent program makes it difficult in a lot of situations to uninstall itself?)

I myself gave up using Norton products a couple of months back, I'm just in the process of converting my parents atm

I think Symantec products been in slow decline for the last couple of years or so? I used to swear by them

Now I consider them to be slow resource hogs, unreliable and now; unpredictable

I've had so many problems recently; (Of my own and of other peoples!) it’s put me off using anything with the Symantec logo ever again!

Thanks for the link, I shall give it a go tomorrow?

Cheers,

SW.
