just need a little computer help

ok i cant say why but i need to remove my anti virus witch is Norton... i have been able to delet evry extension of it like the firewall and sum othere systematic corporation stuff... but when i try to remove the actual Norton folder (ive tried add remove program and just deleting the folder in the programfiles, and if tried uninstalling it) it wont come out... anything else i could try?

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.

ok i im pretty sure i already ended all sytem corp and norton things but ill give it a try

ok when i try deleting the folder it comes up with a "file 0232NAV~.TMP is being used by another person or program, could not delet file"

ohh crap dble posted.. srry now my comp isnt letting me open folders 1 by one...
