does it say an app in it is in use? If so, go to start>run>msconfig> serverices>check HIDE ALL MS SERVICES> uncheck any symantic or norton ones>startup tab> uncheck anything with symantic or norton etc> restart> try deleting it again
also taskmanger is easier jus harder to see what processes are norton ones cuz they have wierd names.

At
www.norton.com in the help section do a search for uninstall norton.. they offer an exe to download that will uninstall everything about Norton.

if you have windows what dont you do this?
click on start, then click on control panel, then add or remove programs,search for Symatec/Norton antivirus, and click remove.
