How do I uninstall Norton AntiVirus so I don't get msg after startup?

Last year I received an iPod Nano, and then found out I needed to upgrade my OS because my version of iTunes wasn't compatible with the Nano. Ever since I've been getting a msg saying to reinstall Norton AntiVirus after I startup. I have a 2003 iBook G3 (and I don't know where I put the disk to reinstall). I've tried to drag to the trash the applications, including the startup items from the library, but nothing has worked. And apparently you can't trash some Norton AntiVirus items because "they are in use". How can they be in use if they need to be reinstalled? How do I get this app off my computer so it doesn't pause on the reinstall msg each time??
This is part one of a two part dilemma...

Sorry all, here is the link

  • How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?

    How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?
    The Norton uninstaller is a PPC native app and Lion won't run it.
    Thanks.

    You should run the removal applicaiton that came with your installation. Read this from the Norton web site..https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?product=No rton+for+Mac+Products&version=current&lg=english&ct=united+states&pvid=f-mac&doc id=v64924250_EndUserProfile_en_us/
    Norton AV 12 for Lion is available online.
    If you want an AV program compatible with Lion then look at Intego Virus Barrier 6.

    Not needed from the App Store. Go straight to the developer.

    Also FindAnyFile, which if you Option click Find will search as root.

  • How do i uninstall norton anti virus?

    How do i uninstall norton antivirus

    Hello Pete,
    I also need to uninstall Norton. This statement is on the Norton support link that you provided above with a red alert symbol: "RemoveSymantecMacFiles removes all the folders created by Norton installers and any files within those folders. You shall lose all files that reside in those folders, including any you have created."  https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
    Would you clarify what type of files that might be?
    In my great ignorance, I installed Norton a couple of years ago and ran occasional whole system scans; Norton Firewall and Phishing Protection were also enabled. Could some of my personal files have ended up in a Norton folder? (I did not have the Norton Identity Safe program or Norton Zone....not even sure what the Zone is).  I don't really want to search for and open Norton folders to check on files in case that would cause more problems. I went to the Norton Support site and Norton Forum, and didn't see an answer to my question. I didn't want to register for their forum unless absolutely necessary, but I am willing to do whatever research is needed. I did find this link from another Apple Support Community discussion but it doesn't say what type of personal files could be lost: http://www.macworld.com/article/1150466/uninstall_norton.html
    A related question: At this time, I only have TM backup. It was when I was was learning how to create a bootable clone with CCC that I learned that I shouldn't have installed Norton. (I'm "behind the times" and trying to catch up.) Should I totally uninstall Norton AV before downloading and running Carbon Copy Cloner?  Or since I have now "disabled" Norton's activity, is it ok to download and run CCC and then deal with the Norton. I read in another post that this Norton uninstall is not "trivial":

    Thank you so very much for any insight you can provide! 

  • How do I uninstall SyncMate Server, Activity Monitor shows it still there after appzapper uninstall of SyncMate app? Killing in AM proceeds with a SyncMate Server startup again??

    How do I uninstall SyncMate Server, Activity Monitor shows it still there after appzapper uninstall of SyncMate app? Killing in AM proceeds with a SyncMate Server startup again??
    Mavricks, MacbookPro, typical config of everything and standard business user, no heavy graphics, animation or media editing. MS Office, web apps, etc.
    I have the same issue with Logmein, which I installed a trial, uninstalled with appzapper, which I thought does a good job of untangling the components of apps but for these 2 it doesn't.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx,

    Usually applications like these have their own uninstallers, either build into the installer ( ! ) itself or as a separate uninstaller app. Check the site of the software provider for instructions.
    Here's the instructions for SyncMate: http://wiki.eltima.com/user-guides/syncmate-mac-os/uninstall.html
    And LogMeIn: http://help.logmein.com/SelfServiceKnowledgeRenderer?type=FAQ&id=kA030000000DGF1 CAO&kw=

    How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

    At some point, your internal HD was selected for use as Time Machine backups, and a Backups.backupdb folder was created at the top level.   So OSX thinks you're trying to install it on the same drive as your backups.
    Open your internal HD with the Finder (you won't find it via a Spotlight or Finder search) and delete that folder.

  • How do I remove Norton Antivirus?

    I have a full version of Norton Antivirus. I had my suspicions last year when my MacBook acted funny and it caught a virus from 2 files that came from my PC. Well, I had OS X Tiger then and installed Norton Antivirus. Now I have Leopard and no longer want Norton Antivirus. My question is how do I remove Norton fully from my MacBook? I don't want any applications or any apps running in the background from Norton. Please help! Thanks

  • HT203433 I clicked on an app that I thought was free and it isn't. How do I stop it so that I don't get charged?

    I clicked on an app that I thought was free and it isn't (I thought I was downloading Hello Hello Spanish and instead it was Hello Hello World). How do I stop if from downloading so that I don't get charged? I've highlighted it and clicked "remove" but it keeps downloading. I do not want my school charged for this app which I didn't want! Help!

    I talked to an actual person at the Apple store and he said I could get credited for the price of the unwanted App. How do I do that?

  • How do I fix my PDF so I don't get the error message: "expected an array object"?

    When I try to delete certain pages from my PDF file (which is larger than 3,000 pages), I get an error message that states "expected an array object." I am unable to delete these pages. How can I fix this problem?

    It looks like the original PDF file is damaged in some ways.  Have you tried creating a new file from the existing file to see if it works? The quickest way to create a new file is to print the existing file to a PDF file.  OK you lose some quality but this is just a test to see if there is anything else wrong with the Acrobat setup or with the document itself.
