    In order to uninstall Norton completely from your system, download and install Norton Removal Tool. Once done, close all the applications that we see active Norton (in the taskbar, anything that says Norton, do right click and "close") and execute the downloaded file. Once you finish the process of uninstalling, reboot your PC, and voila! Goodbye Norton, when looking for a real virus! The tool works only from Windows XP versions to higher versions.
