How to get rid of pre installed Norton
Hello ,
My new Lenovo E530 ThinkPad Win8 x64 came with a pre installed trial version of Norton Security suite.. I know its hard to get rid of it completely , have looked at the Norton removal tools , but most only work on 32 bit versions. Any ideas/tips would be much appreciated ! Thanks in advance.. |

Remove through Control Panel:
1. Right click in the screens bottom-left corner and choose the Control Panel from the pop-up menu. 2. In control Panel choose Uninstall a Program from the Programs category The Uninstall or Change a Program window appears, listing your currently installed programs, their publisher, size, installation date, and version number. To free up disk space, click the Installed On or Size column header to find old or large programs. Then uninstall those forgotten programs you never or rarely use. 3. Click the program and then click its Uninstall, Change, or Repair button. The menu bar above the programs’ names always displays an Uninstall button, but when you click certain programs, you may also see buttons for Change and Repair. Here’s the rundown:

Hi Murph, thanks for the response.
I'm quite familiar with add & remove programs , done it a million times on Xp Pro.. but its Windows 8 plus i know lots of people who had trouble after uninstalling , hence my post here. Most articles i read recommend the Norton removal tool but yet to find one for Win 8 64 bit systems. Many moons ago i had a computer with McAfee.. still remember the hassle i had removing it & i'm fully aware how tricky Norton can be.. ( from other people's stories.) No issues with "old unused" programs. its a brand new laptop.. Thanks again ! Cheers pcblues . |
