How to uninstall Norton AntiVirus of my EL Capitan iMac running?

The version of Norton Antivirus, I had before the update to EL Captian does not work with El Capitan, apparently. I want to uninstalled and you are using Symantec Endpoint Protection (which, by the way told me, works better than Norton).

When I tried to install Symantec the computer says that there is an another anti-virus program in use because of it and my computer can't install Symantec. I tried to go to the applications folder and drag in the Norton Virus folder Recycle Bin, then empty the trash and even to do and then restart the computer. I have the same result every time, of course miss me something, because the program is not completely uninstall (it shows in my vertical desk... Any ideas?

Thank you

One or more of the following may apply:

Uninstall Norton Internet Security for Mac

Remove programs from Symantec for Macintosh using the RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility

RemoveSymantecMacFiles

If you want your Mac to work as it is designed to work, do not install non-Apple "antivirus." Please read of effective defenses against software malware and other threats.

  • How can I uninstall my quick heal antivirus when I uninstall my antivirus ask to take your administration? I have windows 7

    How can I uninstall my quick heal antivirus when I uninstall my antivirus ask to take your administration? I have windows 7

    When you want to uninstall the antivirus or other programs, you must run as administrator.

    If your PC is part of a domain, your administrator can block the uninstallation and in this case you should contact them.

  • I have 2 problems-how can I activate my Add ons and how to uninstall Windows Anti Virus. I need help, please.

    I have Windows XP 32-bit with IE8 Add ons.  I mainly use Firefox Mozilla for my browser and Yahoo as my home page.  Anyway, I have tried all the support and help guide and technicians told me to do to get add ons to open and activate but in vain.  This computer was given to me as a profession, and it was used in a Bank, so I think that the system administrator has disabled the add ons.  I myself as an administrator and use the tips and tricks given windows and Microsoft, but I always run up a wall.  I need help, please.
    I also need to know how to uninstall Windows antivirus software.  I can't find anywhere on my computer.  I feel really stupid and he is probably right in front of my face, but I can't find it to uninstall.  I have McAfee that I paid dearly for if I want to use it until it expires.

    This "Microsoft antivirus' witness (AKA Trojan W32/FakeAlert) hijackware infection!

    If you manage to somehow move to Win7, you will always have an infected computer.

    The ONLY way to solve the problem is by formatting the current hard drive and do a clean installation of Windows, whether it is WinXP or Win7.

    The ONLY way you can do a clean install of Windows XP if you have disks that came with the computer or if by chance, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the system restore).

    If your kids er - well & their spouses are going to spend money on a new HARD drive, they'be be better spend on a low-end Windows 7 computer and brand-new (for example, a netbook or a mini).

    NB: Any data on your Windows XP computer must be considered 100% reliable! (This includes all of your usernames and passwords, for example, those used for online banking, etc.) You do NOT want to put ALL the data from Windows XP to a new computer or HARD disk.

    Good luck, Grandma. Hope that your grandchildren will treat you better than their parents.

  • Impossible to uninstall Norton

    I did a reset of my laptop, lost I've installed all the programs.  While trying to install my Microsoft Antivirus trend, it has not transferred due to a failure to uninstall Norton antivirus. I tried to uninstall previously, I thougth I did, but when the trend Micro Titanium fail to install, it displays a window telling me, asked me if I wanted to uninstall Norton, I've tried several times, but it didn't. It seems to me, as Norton has a function to avoid or to cheat customers to prevent them from unistalling the program. It was a pain and a waste of time. It really upsetme, to the point that I would never know Norton. Please, the HP software that is installed with this anoing free trial Norton in the system, should not be there, or at least it should be optional.  Out of 3 notebooks we bougth of HSN, all have the same address. Now, we want to use the Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus, which is the software solution that adds a life of Pc technical support subscription. Now, I was not protected because of this undesirable Norton.  Although I call for support for them, they sent a link to get rid of Norton, but it did not work. I am very angry to lose time to do all this work, calls, this report by filling... I'm busy and can care for Norton, but to hate him. Please take note of this issue and do not expose customers time to lose with the unwanted stuff... as if I have time to waste.

    Hello

    Try to download and run the Norton Removal Tool on the following link.

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

  • How to uninstall and reinstall norton security

    I have Norton Security for 5 devices and put one on my new iMac, but when I click on advanced customize it does not open.  Nothing happens.  I was hoping that if I uninstalled norton and reinstalled then it would work.  I tried to uninstall norton, but he said it did not with the OS systems.  Nobody knows that I can either get advance to work so I can use the settings or how to uninstall and reinstall?

    Thank you

    It is not recommended to install antivirus on Mac applications unless you want a computer unstable and crashing. OS X is extremely secure and must be kept up-to-date to stay. AV, cleaning or ANY other third party are tools to keep the OS X works well are a total waste of time, energy and resources system.

    Just bought the A305-S6825 and wonder how I might be able to uninstall Norton 360 (in its entirety) that was installed when I bought the camera.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    You can uninstall the applications installed in the Panel.
    Open programs and features by clicking on the button start.
    Then click on Control Panel, click programs, and then click programs and features.
    Select a program and then click on uninstall.

    In addition, you can use a free app called CCLeaner to clean the registry and titles of Norton.

    Why uninstall Norton 360 will not be installed at the factory?  I'm running a new antivirus

    It starts to uninstall (the small circle thang) then stops

    I know that with AVG, you must visit the AVG site to install an uninstall program to remove the program... seems absurd, I know, but that's what's happening with AVG... I don't know if something similar should be done with Norton... but you should be able to disable it... right click that the Norton icon in the tray and you should see options, which will be disable IT are other ways, I don't know, but I haven't used Norton.
