How to uninstall norton

Recently I updated my Firefox. At that time, Norton online backup downloaded with Firefox, tho I never saw a request for my permission. I would never have granted it because I know Norton to be a big system hog.
My browser has been unbelievably slow since, and I am unable to uninstall Norton. I get msg: uninstall server not working properly.
Any help available?

Where did you download that "new copy of Firefox" from? <br />
Mozilla has nothing to do with any Norton / Symantec product. In fact Firefox as a backup service (of sorts) built right in to Firefox, called Sync. <br />

    A little late to the game, but .sit files are Stuffit files as developed by http://www.stuffit.com/ Apple used to use this compression format, but does no longer, and no longer includes the free Stuffit Expander program made by Stuffit.com. If you need to extract an old .sit uninstaller, get it from Stuffit.com. And also any company making such a program for Mac OS X should seriously consider upgrading their downloads to be .dmg.zip files instead, which are more easy to extract on Mac OS X without downloading extra software.

    Uninstalling Norton or any Symantec product is not trivial and requires that you run Norton's uninstaller to ensure all its bits are thoroughly eradicated. Read about it here:

  • 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":
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19283561#19283561
    Thank you so very much for any insight you can provide! 

  • 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...

  • Re: Uninstalled Norton Internet Security - no connection to the Internet

    I have the Satellite A210-11P laptop.
    Recently I uninstalled Norton Internet Security after the subscription expired and since then my laptop will not connect to the internet.
    The internet itself is working fine. I would appreciate your help and advice.

    You don't need Norton Cd disk, you can download it here:
    http://liveupdate.symantec.com/upgrade/NIS09EN.exe
    Try to do what I mentioned above in previous post
    if it doesn't fix it, I think the best solution is to reinstall Windows than fix the problem. You have to get Windows Vista Dvd disk, you can borrrow it from your friends or download from the Internet.
    After that, you have to back up all the necessary files, otherwise they will be wiped during installation. To boot from Windows Dvd disk you have to enter the Bios and make some settings.(To enter the Bios, press F2 on powering the computer up) In Boot menu, you have to choose Cd/Dvd boot as the 1st boot device and press F10 to save and exit. The computer will restart.
    Then, it will start from Dvd disk asking you to press any key, you can press any key. The installation will be initialized, at middle of instalaltion you wil be asked to enter the Windows serial number, user's name and etc...
    After the complete installation, enter the Bios and choose Hdd as the 1st boot device and press F10.
    Then, go to to the Toshiba driver page, choose your model, and download all drivers.
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    For now, do what I mentioned above. How to install drivers (driver installation order) and optimize system, I will explain later.

  • How to Uninstall Leopard Upgrade and go back to Tiger

    I would like to go back to Tiger and was wondering how to uninstall the Leopard upgrade without having to do a full reformat. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

    First, welcome to the Apple boards.
    Backup what you have because it probably contains things from the original update you want to keep - network settings, passwords, etc. A bootable clone is your best bet - and test it out.
    Then you need to format your HD (full, not quick) with the Leopard DVD and then reboot with the Tiger CD and install it. I am not sure how much you can migrate "downwards" from the Leopard backup, but some things will probably come along OK. Not sure about mail since it was converted by Leopard - will it unconvert? Don't know.
    I have read of some who tried to simply install Tiger over Leopard but the results were less than great. You can try it once you have that clone backup, because you won't be losing anything.
    I would suggest unplugging the clone during the erase and install process until you get to the migration point.

    I have a brand new Leopard based MacBook Pro that I need to revert to its previous cat form of Tiger. Would you mind walking me through it? I have Tiger disks that came with another MacBook Pro so those should have all of the machine specific items I will need. As I understand this, I start the computer from the included Leopard disk and do a full format. (I noticed that there is a new partition style named GUID Partition, is this Leopard only?) Next, I load in my Tiger disks and install from those? I do not need to do any system backups as I have no information on this computer as of yet. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Brian

  • I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

    Hello,
    I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook  pro didn't let me to do it.
    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
    Disclaimer: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

  • How to uninstall pages 5 on iPad 2?

    I still use pages 4 on my Mac, and have updated my iPad2 to iOS7 and spontenuously to pages 5 as well. Then, I can't read on my Mac a document in iCloud that was altered on my iPad with pages 5. Of course, to update my Mac to pages 5 would solve this, but I'd still like to use the features on pages4. Does anybody know how to uninstall pages 5 on iPad and revert back to pages4?

    Hi there,
    is your app stuck in "loading status"? Or are you trying to cancel an ongoing loading process?
    if stuck:
    Perform a reset of your ipad.
    Hold down home-button and on/off-button together for about 10 seconds (Ipad will first show you it´s shut-off-screen, then will turn, then will show apple logo again <- that´s where you release).
    After doing so my "faulty" app restored properly, I hav no more issues.
    If in loading stage and you would like to cancel:
    You will need to wait for loading and installation to complete.
    Then press and hold down finger on any app. Apps start shaking and (if not proper to ipads iOS) will show a small circled "x" above left, press that "x", you will be asked if you really wish to delete, press ok. Done.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards
    Max

  • Ubuntu 10 (Linux) & Firefox 3.6 ~ How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in & ActiveX control

    Ubuntu 10.045 (Linux) and Firefox 3.6.3  ~  How to uninstall the Adobe  Flash Player plug-in & ActiveX control
    In general Adobe needs to offer Ubuntu (Linux) support.  I don't use Windows anymore and will go with whatever company provides me the Plug In's I need to function.  In this case at the current time, I can't use Adobe flash Player to view You Tube video's.  I followed the link that helps a user fix the problem:
    Solve a Problem: The video won't play:
    http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=56115
    I then saw that you suggested that I first needed to uninstall any older versions of the Flash Player and then install the latest version of the Flash player.  I clicked on the link find out how to uninstall it here:
    How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    They didn't offer any help with Ubuntu 10.045 (Linux).  Please offer the instructions and automatic (non-terminal) uninstaller.  Also, I want an automatic installer for Ubuntu 10 (Linux) & Firefox 3.6 that is easy like like you have for Windows and like Sun's Java has for Linux.

    You should go to this site to see what versions of Flash Player and Shockwave Player you have installed.
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
    The versions you are listing (10.0 r12, 10.0 r2) appear to be Shockwave Plauer versions, not Flash Player.
    If you want to uninstall Flash Player, there should be an uninstaller in the install directory.  I do not know where that is on Linux.

  • How to uninstall Skype Extender in Macbook Pro?

    Hi,
    i got Skype Extender application from www.Apple.com and  installed successfully, but right now i dont want skype extender application so i'm try to uninstall skype extender its showing "application is open so u can't uninstall" so how to close application (No way to quit) and also how to uninstall please every one suggest me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Then I submit you didn't look in /Library/LaunchAgents on your boot volume as opposed to ~/Library/LaunchAgents in you user (home) directory.
    I just ran the installer to verify my assumtions about that installer.  Here's all the stuff that that installer installs:
    /Applications/SkypeExtenderMenu.app
    /Applications/SkypeExtender.app
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.zysk.SkypeExtenderMenu.Launch.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.zysk.SkypeExtender.Launch.plist
    /Library/Frameworks/Skype.framework
    /private/var/db/receipts/com.zysk.skypeextender/com.zysk.*
    [* represents 12 files all beginning with com.zysk. which I didn't bother to list here]
    So those guys must be there. I manually removed all this stuff, logged out, back in, and there are no SkypeExtender apps running just as I knew there wouldn't be.
    Note, I didn't mention it previously but you should also toss the framework (and maybe receipts too if you want a full removal of all the SkypeExtender stuff) although it's not hurting anything being there other than taking up a little disk space.
