Used control panel to uninstall Norton

This A665-S5187X came with a pre-installed 30 trial of Norton which I uninstalled using the control panel. I have installed McAfee and I am not having problems. This forum indicates there is a special tool that you can download to uninstall Norton. Will I have any problems having done it the old fashion way?
Solved!

A program called Revo Uninstaller will use a manufacturers uninstall program but then it will also discover if any other files or registry entries have been installed and give you the option to uninstall those as well. This is a free program available at http://download.cnet.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html
Read the reviews, decide for yourself, but the program works very well at removing all traces of any program you wish to uninstall. Plus you can use it instead of Control Panel if you wish.

Jre still shows up in control panel after uninstall!

I have tried to remove jre 1.3.0_01 from my system via Add/Remove Programs. Afterwards, it still appears in my control panel, even after a reboot! And Ive even seen it still WORK after uninstalling it. No other versions of the runtime environment or sdk or webstart are installed. Has anyone seen thing like this? Any tips? Greatly appreciated, thanks

Check your PATH statement..... oracle database uses it's own copy of JRE 1.3...

How can get the touchpad turned off when my logitech mouse is plugged via usb. when I used control panel to turn off tp it says it is disabled.

both touchpad and mouse are active even though the touchpad is disabled

I am saying that the touch pad still is active/turned on/ works, even though it is disabled according to the menu screen that I reach through control panel. It works all the time, in any program I am using. My latest attempt is to delete the software (Alps vers. 7.1207.101.225) but I see that has not worked either. I'm a poor typist and need to watch the keyboard and my thumbs touch the pad and send the cursor and current words somewhere other than the line on which I am trying to write. Very frustrating.[

IPhone 4 ios 7 unable to use control panel

Hi I am using iphone 4 and was updated to ios 7 yesterday
I have tried all the possible ways to slide up from the bottom of the screen (outside and inside the screen)
But still nothing happens at all
Now I couldn't lock the screen rotation or do whatever everyone else is doing to the new ios 7
Because I cant even get to the control panel at all and I couldn't find any useful things to help with it in the general option
Please if anyone can help me with it
Ios 7 has bought me to ****!!!

Hi,
do you have an "Control Center" option in your settings app?
I've an iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.2), too.
For me (almost) everything is working fine, so no general bug at this point.

How do I remove apple mobile support software from windows 8.1 as it refuses to go using control panel uninstal

I am having update problems with itunes on a windows 8.1 computer. I am told to remove all apple products and re-install itunes but I cannot uninstall apple mobile support

Win 7 After uninstalling Firefox from Control Panel, "The action can't be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program"

Update failed numerous times. Uninstalled FF using Control Panel. Followed instructions to delete the Mozilla folder from AppData/Local/Mozilla. Then the "Folder in Use" prompt comes up and I have to cancel the delete. Folder was created 4/8/2011, but I can't find the folder using the search command. Can't install a fresh install of Firefox 18. Using Windows 7 64-bit. I no longer have FireFox on my system that I can see.

Okay, I drilled down further:
Specifically, the files I cannot delete are:
     A driver with the following location:
          Program Files > Common Files > Apple > Internet Services > ShellStreams.resources > en.lproj >ShellStreamsLocalized.dll
     And a driver with the following location:
           Program Files > Common Files > Apple > Internet Services > ShellStreams64.dll

Firefox 4.0.1 does not install properly. It keeps asking to reboot to finish. i can't uninstall it via Control Panel.

I had Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on Windows 7. I saved the bookmarks and uninstalled it. Downloaded 4.01 and did the typical standadrd install. It asked for a reboot to finish as expected. I rebotted and it did not finish installation. Then I tried to unistall it using control panel. So that removed it (or so it seemed). So i went to reinstall. Mozilla says reboot to finish install immediately. That of course does not work, can't uninstall as control panel does not see itand cant install. Anyone know how to completey get rid of this thing. No I cant delete it from the C:\Program files <x86> directory either. It's a hung mess.

You gone about it the wrong way I'm afraid. For future reference; to update version 4.0 to 4.0.1 and for future editions, go to '''Help '''| '''About Firefox''' and then click the '''Check For Updates''' button.
I think what you'll have to do now is follow instructions in this article to uninstall it: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_firefox
Once you've achieved that goal, go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop using either IE8 or 9. Save the file to your desktop when you see the prompt and then reinstall it from there.

I can't uninstall Firefox(3.6.3) either through the control panel or by going to Program files/Mozilla Firefox/Uninstall and running the helper.exe, I have Windows 7 Home Premium(64bit)

I simply want to uninstall Mozilla FireFox 3.6.3. I tried both recommendations of using the control panel to add/remove program and running the helper.exe in Program Files/Mozilla FireFox/uninstall. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition(64bit). When I tried to remove it using the add/remove program and helper.exe all it does is start for a split second(mouse pointer turns into circular loading icon) and then it stops.

Hi Guys,
I had this same problem too, and i want to share to all of you my own fix for this kind of problem;
(READ FIRST: ''This step will wipeout everything that mozilla saved on your computer including : password, history and bookmarks''.)'''
'''1. download the Revo Uninstaller''''''
- quick step guide for this:
select mozilla firefox, don't forget to uninstall everything that relates to mozilla including registry to clean them all up.
'''2. download mozilla firefox again'''
- AND REINSTALL. however on this stage, in some cases mozilla will not open at this stage.
'''3. Uninstall Mozilla firefox again NOW using control panel.'''
'''4. Restart the computer to refresh everything.'''
'''5. Reinstall mozilla firefox again, once you have received the prompt for "exporting or importing etc.. etc.. from Microsoft" that means its already working.. it will take around 5-10 sec to load up (in my case) .'''

TS4022 cant get icloud control panel to load correctly to use outlook 2013

i cant get control panel to load correctly to allow me to set up sync functions to my outlook 2013 on my pc

Solved. Uninstall iCloud Control Panel from Windows 8 machine (use Control Panel). Restart, reinstall iControl 2.0.

Ie 8 is the browser used through the control panel to connect to ms update can firefox be used instead?

i like using firefox and ie takes over instantly when i use control panel to check for updates.is your browser uncapable of this task.

MS uses ActiveX controls on the update site, so you can only access that site via IE and not with Firefox or other browsers.

I can't remove firefox either though the control panel or manually

I have updated Firefox and now have versions 4,6, &7 and cannot remove any of them. I have a problem with Microsoft Silverlight also that is associated with Mozzila and I can uninstall it either. I would like to uninstall Mozilla & then start with a fresh download but nothing works, even when trying to open the helper.
