Removing Norton Anti-virus 2004, How to remove the Registry Enteries

NETWORK TECH WORLD  Found this on the Norton Web site.

I finally got fed up with Norton 2004 AV and switched to Avast.

Had lots of problems removing Norton, lots of stuff left over in the registry.

After a few Google searches, I found this.


http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2004020909040706?Open&src=&docid=2001092114452606&nsf=nav.nsf&view=df0a595864594c86852567ac0063608c&dtype=&prod=&ver=&osv=&osv_lvl=


FYI, this is from the Symantec.com Site, so I am guessing it is nice and safe

If you scroll down to the "Removal instructions" the first option is "To remove Norton AntiVirus from the registry" Click on the Plus sign and you can down load the removal tool (it is a .reg file that removes all the keys for Norton.)

Direct Link for the file:

ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/consumer/nav/nav2004xp_reg_removal.reg


After I got done, Avast started working right and my system seemed to be running alot better. (after Avast found 14 virues that Norton did not find.)

What is network

NETWORK TECH WORLD What is network  A network is a group of devices, such as computers, servers, and printers, that are connected together and able to communicate with each other. Networks can be classified based on their size and scope, such as a local area network (LAN), which is a network that is confined to a small area, such as a single building or campus, or a wide area network (WAN), which is a network that spans a large geographical area, such as a city or a country. Networks can also be classified based on their communication protocols, such as the Internet, which is a global network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to connect devices around the world.

Network Protocols

NETWORK TECH WORLD A network protocol is a set of rules and standards that define how devices on a network should communicate with each other. Network protocols govern everything from the type of cable that is used to connect devices to the way in which data is transmitted between them. There are many different types of network protocols, each of which serves a specific purpose. Some common examples include: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): This is a connection-oriented protocol that is responsible for breaking up data into packets, transmitting the packets over the network, and reassembling the packets at the destination. TCP is a reliable protocol that ensures that all packets are delivered to their destination. IP (Internet Protocol): This is a connectionless protocol that is responsible for routing packets between devices on a network. IP is an unreliable protocol that does not guarantee that packets will be delivered to their destination. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Th...
