    cannot delete Symantec registry key

    I am writing you to help me with a problem. My problem is I have a registry key "KHEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec" and below "KHEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD"
    I have tried to delete:
    -in Safe Mode
    -modifying permissions
    -using RegSeeker
    But it wont get deleted.

    So do you all have a solution for it?
    Is This hiding in a rootkit?
    In any case thank you in advance for any help.

    You can try this with Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec]
    @=""

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD\SuiteOwners]

    If you want to completely uninstall a Symantec, there are tools at Symantec websites also.

    Yes, Viceman is right with the Norton uninstaller Tool you can remove or uninstall and delete all the tracks of the Registry Keys of Symantec Antivirus.
