Maybe you deleted the install folder. If you still have an earlier version, you could try reinstalling that, then uninstalling. And trying the new one again.

i cant remember how to do it, but basically i went through the registry (be careful!) and deleted everything to do with symantec, or NAV (norton antivirus) if u have not got anything else installed by semantec. then do a search for anything by semantec and delete them

run a regclean twice over before you start deleting reg entries
makes things a lot easier

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>look for symantec folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>look for symantec folders
do at your own risk lol, to run regedit goto Start>Run> then type in "regedit" without quotes.HTH

its a little app from microsoft, although it says it only works on 95/98 & NT, it actually works on all Windows OS as the registry is in the same place for all them
http://download.com.com/3000-2094-881470.html?tag=list
after it deletes it, it gives you a file of what it has deleted, so u can reverse it if necessary

no need to go near regedit as yet
