Norton Safe Web Lite is a software program developed by Symantec. The most common release is 2.0.0.16, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The setup package generally installs about 71 files and is usually about 19.8 MB (20,760,428 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows Vista (SP2).

While about 80% of users of Norton Safe Web Lite come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Canada.Program details.

I’ve read and followed your instructions about how to remove the dreaded Norton Anti-Virus from my Microsoft Windows XP computer, but somehow the $#$@ thing isn’t fully removed yet. Dave, this is driving me batty! Is there some additional or updated instruction you can share with us? I hate Symantec!!First off, you’re right, the older article is a bit, um, long in the tooth.

Just want to thank you for finally removing norton 10 update pop up. The tool removal never worked. After countless attempts to remove the annoying pop up that had taking over my PC slowing the speed and repeating the pop up every few minutes.

I come to despise Norton coming to terms that it itself was a virus. On the verge of putting my fist through the screen and beat the hell out of it, just like the xerox jumping in Office Space, I came upon this site last night. I printed off the steps and then walked away. I went through the steps word for word and im so glad i walked away the night before. So far Norton is gone and Mcafee which stays out the way sucures my pc.Thank You for saving the destruction of my pc. I’m amazed that people put up with this shit – what an amazingly frustrating and time-consuming set of instructions!

The Symantec folks who make Norton are sadly just getting people used to the abusive way that malware and spam and the like works. It’s all about making money.The safe, easy way to both avoid both malware and these kinds of messages is simply to use an operating system that doesn’t do that to you, one that is designed by users for users, rather than being controlled by marketing folks.Thankfully, the Linux operating system is just that. And it has already beat out Microsoft and Apple for the hearts and minds of most people, since there are far more Linux devices in people’s hands than any of the alternatives in the form of Android phones, and there are far more Linux servers running the infrastructure of the web than any other operating system. And malware is far far less of a problem on Linux.For laptops and desktops, try Ubuntu Linux. It includes driver support for more hardware out-of-the-box than any Windows system, it integrates updates to all software in one highly secure update system, and it doesn’t pester you with abusive shit like Norton. And it integrates over 30,000 different free software packages to do everything most anyone needs, for one-touch installation.I’m running the Ubuntu “Trusty” release, and was just hoping that for the rare occasion when I want to boot Windows and see how it works on my new laptop, I could avoid Norton.

But it’s just not worth it, so I’ll just stay away from Windows. HI Dave TaylorI am sooooo very very grateful for your information on website, I remove the this monstrous Norton scan battling me the whole day, a lot of other sites tells me to download Norton removal tools, it never worked, just make me go in circles, download em and it was never removed. Ever since that monster Norton scan was installed to my pc without my consent, it was a nightmare, for days on end my pc was frozen, pop ups ads all over, I was so exhausted, until I found your site. Some step by step instruction to open files and rid em one by one, like disgusting pest, I am sooo happy now, seem my pc is function fast and normal like before.gratefully,Flora. My first time was today on your site and Dave.YOU’RE A ROCK STAR!!!

And I just became your groupie!!!! Ha Seriously, I just had one of those sessions with my PC and you guys.you know, when it feels like a brainfeast and your body’s doing that happy dance inside?, I couldn’t (didn’t want ) to stop readingpeople asking “my” questions and then you with your answers like “holy crap! This guy really wants us to solve our issues. HOW COOL IS THAT?!”just so much good stuff to learn.I’m excited! So thank you DaveI haven’t really explored your website yet but you’re a blessing–like one of those supernova, can’t -be- topped gifts from God Himself! Ha (I’m really on a Dave-high now, right?) But reading the replies to you last night, I see I’m not the only one doing a happy dance.Way to go, rock star.I have a MSI Home Premium A500/ Windows 7 / Internet Exp 10. In 2010 Norton antivirus came with the packagefree 30 days.then i did McAfee,Avast, AVG and settled with Iola System Mechanic just uninstalled them all with Control panel, uninstall program.

Took my laptop back to factory settings recently.because of freezes and just it was acting all confused and slow. Then I installed AVG 2013 I’m concerned thats what is happpening with my pc it has too much stuff like “UNinstalled” programs still there. Shouldn’t returning it to factory wipe all that out? My laptop is acting worse than everlike its all clogged. I keep the fans clean.Iola came back as a reallly light icon in my program files but not in control panelAVG 2013 is in both places. I tried to uninstall it after the trial period was overit won’t go but it won’t turn on either. I deleted a couple avg folders from c drive/ progr.

Files.should i be taking avg and iolas things off my registry also? Or one thing at a time? In fact avg won’t uninstall like the others.

You were saying something last night about i might have to reinstall it again to get it uninstalled? Does this have to be done before I kick Norton out? —or can i go ahead– i backed up registry already and I had a peek in registrythere is alot of norton Help! Am i making sense?Sorry for such a long letterStep 4 and 5 My program files only lists folder name, date modified and size of the folder. Will it say something like sym or nav or do i open up each folder also?Step 6 I have no case sensitive option. Also have been trying to get my search folders to worki just upgraded to explorer 10Next time i’ll be shorter and sweeter.kay?

I would like to say thank you for your information on removing the Norton 360 off of my sons computer. It was very informative to get into the details of this program off of the computer. Excellent Work. There was one thing you left out. The Norton 360 back-up files. It was very easy to delete though. I just went into My Computer, then to Local Disc, then to Norton 360 Backup folder, then I DELETED the Norton Backup folder.

Not going to need that anymore. And in the process I got back over 22 gigabites back on my hard drive. When i purchased my Vista computer a couple of years ago it already had Norton on it. I uninstalled it and put Kaspersky software on it. It was time to renew a couple of days ago so when I did it told me that it could not continue due to being incompatible with Symantec LiveUpdate.

I went to uninstall it but there is nothing to uninstall. It is just a file sitting in my Control Panel folder. I cant even simply delete it. I have tried everything explained in ALL of the messages above and nothing seems to be working.

How in the world can I get this off of my computer so i can download the new Kaspersky software? So frustrating! Hi Dave, we spent 8!!

Norton Remove And Reinstall Not Working

Hours last nite, running Microsoft Security Essentials.3,647,000 items were scanned and after 8 hours it said NOTHING DETECTED.we watched the computer screen for a long time and saw errors in script!! In tiny blue square. This all came about because we are trying to remove pre-installed Norton from our new computer! HP Pavilion DV 74270us Entertainment. Dave, we have tried everything!!

All your suggestions. To eliminate Norton, short of using the f10 or f11 key!!! We are at our wit’s end.Any suggestions.Thank you, Wil. Today , I am considering purchasing a new laptop computer that comes with a 30-day free trial of Norton Internet Security (NIS) installed. In the past, the only way I’ve ever been able to entirely rid my PC of Symantec/Norton products was to reformat my hard drive and do a clean reinstall (because even the “complete uninstall” procedure on their web site left things not only still installed but still running). Unfortunately, the laptop PC I’m considering purchasing doesn’t come with the OS install disks, it just has a recovery disk that restores the computer to factory defaults (including re-installation of NIS). The laptop sales person I chatted with says that the latest version of Norton products fixes the uninstall problem (that NIS will uninstall cleanly) but, having spent hours of my life on the phone with Norton/Symantec support people (who seemed to have a “Why would you ever want to uninstall our wonderful software?” attitude), I’m not willing to believe that without confirmation by someone other than Symantec.

How

Does the latest version of Norton Internet Security really do a complete and clean uninstall? Until I can confirm that, I don’t plan to purchase this new laptop.

Hi Dave, Thanks for your informative article. Unfortunately, it hasn’t completely worked for me, as I’m unable to delete a number of Symantec files on my PC – specifically, 2010-05-06Log.ALUSchedulerSvc, AluSchedulerSvc, AluSchedulerSvcRes.dll, MSVCP71.DLL, MSVCR71.DLL, AlertEng.dll, PifEng.dll, and PIFSvc. I keep getting the error message: “Cannot delete (file name): Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.” Any suggestions? FYI, I haven’t installed any other AV software yet because I wanted to completely remove this one first.

Hi Dave & CrewPlease forgive the addition to this tremendous thread! But i’m working as a favour on my friends XP french edition, which has turned into huge headache.(norton came with computer 2006, had already for a long time been partially uninstalled)After following all your steps to the letters, I have been able to install AVG, and also Kaversky. However they have both ground the computer to a near halt. I had thought it was because they both (eventually) quarantined trojan svchost, temp1/2.exe, copy.exe files.However restoring the files had not helpedSo trying install ESET NOD32 and it has detected Symantec is still inside the system (where the other programs didn’t detect this).So i’ve gone back to the registry and destroyed symbinder in HKEYCLASSESROOT. Using RegCleaner also to search the registry and Explorer Search Tool I have exhausted my ability to discovery the symantec bug.(using MBantiMalware i’ve been able to quarantine the trojans without any issue, and CCleaner and TuneUp utilities has cleaned up all the mess left behind)I’m one step away from formatting the disk (not with a baseball bat) but before i spend a whole week with a trickling internet cafe connection in remote Indonesia infecting all of every removable device, would you have any other ideas please? I have successfully unistalled norton but after i restarted my computer i am unable to connect to internet explorer. I am successfully connected to my wireless connection.

Even when i click diagnose connection problems it says windows did not find any problems with this computer’s network. I am able to connect to this wireless network via my laptop. Yet, when i open internet explorer or mozilla, it says internet explorer cannot display the webpage. It wont even connect to a feed. I did not change anything else on my computer or internet.

After i restarted it, I had this problem immediately.
