How Do I Uninstall Norton Internet Security 2007?
Introduction To Norton Internet Security 2007
Norton Internet Security 2008 is one of the latest suites of online security applications available today. As well as providing complete protection against viruses, spyware, and other malicious threats and applications it also includes a number of other tools. Anti spam software helps to prevent or filter many of the spam emails that users typically receive in their mailbox while phishing scam protection also helps to prevent you from falling foul to the phishing emails that have become prevalent in modern Internet use. Worm and Trojan removal tools are also included along with tools to quickly and effectively remove Internet files and traces and improve system performance.
Safely Removing Applications From Your Computer
Removing applications should always be done as cleanly and completely as possible. The poor removal of a program can leave nasty traces behind within the registry and the system folders. Especially with some older versions of Norton software this has led to problems installing any other security applications from Symantec and even some applications from other publishers. Removal should be done either using the uninstaller included as part of the Norton Internet Security 2008 application, using the specialist Norton uninstaller application, or using the Windows Add or Remove Programs utility.

This typically offers a better installation than the one included with the application but is not strictly necessary with the newer versions of Norton software. If you are struggling to remove the application from your computer then you should download the uninstaller from the Symantec site – www.symantec.com, and double click on the icon once downloaded.
