One for the computer boffin.

I am trying to remove an old version of Norton internet security from a laptop running XP.
The program does not appear in the CONTROL PANEL "add or remove programs" so I can not remove it.
Any ideas ?

Nip over to the Norton website and download the appropriate uninstall tool. Bloody thing's perfidious

Norton installed a couple of months ago and immedeately unable to run any office prgrams.

De-installed it and computer runs fine.

Will never knowingly touch it again.

A wise move. Use Avira or AVG for the time being.. then get a Mac.

Or the new version of NOD32

I don't like antivirus software but security is No:1 priority, what with online banking and such. What is the best option for small office with 6 computers ?
