How do I get rid of Norton Icons in my system preferences?

I'm having problems getting rid of Norton on my new MacBook Pro. I foolishly transferred applications from my old G4 with Migration assistant and it transferred my old Norton Internet Security which dates from 2003-2004. I deleted everything I could find, but my computer is still running slow and I get messages when I boot up that the various Norton programs can't open and I should reintall them. The Symantec uninstaller tool can't find any Norton applications on my computer and when I search the hard drive for Norton or Symantec I find nothing. Still, there are two icons on my System Preferences panel, and I'm wondering if I manage to remove these, it will get rid of the last wisps of Norton. Any ideas?

Since it is a new machine, if I were you, I would do a full "Erase and Install" and start over.
BTW, you should really be in a 10.5 or MacBook Pro forum.
Good Luck.
Joe

  • Disabled Yahoo icon. How do I get rid of the icon without hiding it?

    Okay so on my previous BB I had my work and Yahoo e-mail set up.  Later I disabled the Yahoo e-mail and I remember then it was tough to figure out how to do that and delete the icon.  I figured it out though.
    Now I synced to my new 8900 and the Yahoo icon is there again.  It's not receiving or sending e-mail which is fine, but how do I get rid of the icon without having to hide it?  I want it gone forever!
    Thanks!

  • How do I get rid of navigation icon (north, south east west)

    How do I get rid of navigation icon (north, south east west) Comes on automatically since I use the bamboo tablet.
    thank you
    Amelia

    Not sure, but that might be the Rotate View Tool. However, that should only show up when the tool is actively being used (not just when it is selected). It could have something to do with multi-touch capabilities that the table may have (two finger rotation should allow the canvas to rotate), but that also shouldn't cause the compass to appear.
    A screen shot would help verify what you are seeing.

    Do you mean the icon in the middle that you see when  you adjust the volume? Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, until you see the silver apple and it reboots and see if that helps

  • How do I get rid of Norton Internet Security?  Migration assistant problem

    I have a new MacBook Pro and I used a firewire connection and migration assistant to transfer files. Unfortunately, the assistant transferred all my applications, even the ones I didn't want, like Norton Internet Security, which slowed down my old G4. I deleted all the Norton files, but there are still icons for Norton Auto protect and Norton Quick Menu on my System Preferences menu. I'm afraid they are responsible for the messages I get on booting up saying the system detects Norton but can't open the application. I'm also afraid its the reason that suddenly my new superfast MacPro is less fast. I can't figure out how to delete it from the system preferences - any ideas?

    Please let me reassure you. There are NO viruses effecting OSX to date. There was one virus effected OS9 ten years ago, but nothing since. The fear of viruses is a residual effect from using that other OS, which shall remain nameless, but not shameless. The only danger a Mac user faces is, spreading a virus through a network by forwarding junk emails with an infected attachment, not that anybody is that stupid, or are they? If you are using one of the main email providers, Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc, all he attachments are scanned automatically as these organizations cannot afford to have viruses in their systems.
    In a nutshell: Relax and enjoy the freedom of using a Mac.
    Furthermore: Most ex-users of the nameless OS feel the need to run defrag programs on Macs. Unnecessary! Just leave your Mac turned on overnight and it will do it itself.
    You may remember the Mac slogan, 'Think Differently'. Well, Macs do!
    Enjoy your clean install.

  • Help I can't get rid of the beach ball in system preferences!

    Hi,
    I have an iMac OS X 10.8.3.  Every time I go to system preferences to change my screen saver I immediatley get the beach ball and the enire thing freezes up.  I can't do ANYTHING within system referneces and I can only get out by 'force quit'. We've tried everything we can think of. This is a new glitch because we used to be able to change our photos in screen saver all the time.  It is super frustrating and  it slows down everything.  Does anybody know what could possibly be happening and if there is a way around this?
    Thanks

    Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following item to the Desktop:
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

  • How can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar in 4.0 so I just have text there (fit more bookmarks in visible portion) but not switch off other icons?

    How can I change the bookmarks toolbar so that it shows only text and not icons (so I can fit more bookmarks on the visible portion) in 4.0 without turning off other icons? This was easy in version 3.

    You can do that with the Bookmarks Deiconizer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer

  • How can I get rid of those icons in safari and have a listing of bookmarks as well as the according web addresses

    Hi, I just upgraded to Yosemite and have a huge problem.
    There are only icons for the bookmarks, however I need the name and the website address in a list view as I cannot handle over 6,000 bookmarks in an icon window... any suggestions?

    Hi annmeyercom,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I can understand wanting to organize and arrange your Safari bookmarks in a way that is beneficial to you. There may be a couple of different solutions to this. The attached article explains how you can see your bookmarks using the Show or hide the sidebar button as well as enabling the Favorites bar which is similar to previous versions of Safari.

  • How do I get rid of file icons in launchpad? help

    hi, just had a link up with a lexmark rep and he has left loads of file icons on my laptop in launchpad. tried the wiggle effect but that doesnt work. how do I delete these please?

    hi Matt,
    thanx for replying.
    the icons were a complete trace of all the actions he needed to do to install an updated driver for my printer. nice to have the log but a pain to keep seeing 3 pages of icons!!!!
    I found a wonderful free non apple app which allows me to hide the icons, apparently apple doesnt have anything like this,its called launchpad control and it works a dream, a bit like selecting the playlists you want in itunes.
    the "apps" would not delete any way I tried and apple help was no help, just kept coming up no reply
    so thanks again for responding, its good to know the occassional knight in shining armour is still riding by

  • How can I get rid of the icons in my bookmarks toolbar without changing the icons to text in my navigation toolbar? I want text only in the bookmarks and icons only in navigation.

    It seems that making changes in the toolbar preferences always affects all toolbars at once. Isn't there a way to just delete the icons so they aren't crowding up the bookmark toolbar? They serve no purpose. Most are just blank page icons.

    Look at:

  • How do I get rid of an icon with the "?" over if after deleting the application?

    Greetings,
    My iMac originally came with TechTool Deluxe as a freebie.
    Since upgrading to the 10.8.3 I don't want to use it anymore.
    It tells me TechTool Deluxe has not been tested on any OS version later than 10.7.
    Clicking the Launchpad icon showed the icon for it.
    I dragged it to the trash, but, the icon won't go away.
    There are no TechTool Deluxe folders under the Applications folder.
    I did find the folder where I kept the updater so I deleted that as well.
    What do I need to do in order for this icon with the "?" over it to go away?
    Thanks.

    In order to delete this app from Launchpad, first open Launchpad and hold the Option (Alt) key. Then, you will see the X button above the TechTool app, so press it and it will be deleted from Launchpad

  • When i restart comp 2 windows open automatically, how do i get rid of this?

    when i restart comp 2 windows open automatically, how do i get rid of this?

    Check your System Preferences to see what items you might have set to Startup when the computer is started.
    System Preferences > Users and Groups > Select your User Name > Click on Login Items > Select any item you do not want to startup automatically > click on the Minus sign in the bottom left corner.
    If the items that seem to open automatically are windows that you had open before shutting down the iMac or before selecting Restart those windows will open again when the computer starts.
