Impossible to uninstall Norton and McAfee on Windows 8 antivirus programs.

Original title: No place to enter the password administrator Windows 8

I read some previous discussions but did not get any answers that have worked for me.  I have a new laptop and the account that somehow, I created by default to "prompt".  I don't want to continue to use Norton or McAfee, but computer won't allow me to install anything else and it will not let me delete these two programs.  Any action asks me to enter a password to Admin, but there's no need to enter the 'yes' is grey outside and not clickable.  I can't find anywhere to change anything.  Help, please.  I have wireless internet so my computer is at risk until I get my new installed program.

Hello

Thanks for the update.

The problem is solved?

If this isn't the case, I ask you to activate the built-in Administrator and change your account to an administrator account.

To do this, follow these steps:

Step 1: If Windows 8 was preinstalled on the computer, contact the manufacturer of the computer for the installation media. If this isn't the case, then refer to these steps to create your own installation media:

How to create an installation media for a PC refresh or reset

c. select repair your computer and click on Skip this drive.

d. select Troubleshooting and click Advanced Options.

e. here, choose the option command prompt and type net user administrator / Active: Yesand then press ENTER.

f. type net user administrator and then press ENTER.

Note: Please replace the tag with a password that you want to set for the administrator account.

Step 2: To change the account to an administrator account, please follow these steps:

a. Boot on the built-in Administrator account.

b. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X and select Control Panel.

c. click on user accounts in mode large icons.

d. click on Manage another account.

e. click on the standard account.

f. click change the account Type , and then select administrator.

g. click the change account Type button, and then restart the computer.

Step 3: disable the built-in Administrator account.

a. in the built-in Administrator account, press the Windows key + X and click on (Admin) command prompt.

b. type net user administrator / active: No.and then press ENTER.

c. restart the computer and check if the problem is resolved.

Note: Please, be very careful with the built-in Administrator account. Changes need to be made very carefully and it should always be disabled after use.

Please get back to us with the State of the question.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • 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.

  • Impossible to uninstall iTunes after downgrading to windows from 10 to 7

    I love having new things first.  lol so when Windows 10 came out I had to update immediately.  I should have checked to see if my programs and drivers were compatible.  They were not.  So I uninstalled 10 and I went back to 7.  The only thing that seems to have been affected was my iTunes program.  For some reason, I think that is the iTunes Installer has been moved or corrupted.  The first time a new update was released for iTunes, my computer downloaded the new update, but it was impossible to remove the old program iTunes.  So I tried to remove iTunes from Add/Remove programs function in the control panel.  I get the following:

  • Impossible to uninstall Officejet 6000 E609 in Windows 10

    Our old Officejet 6000 has been installed long ago (wired, not Wireless no, no ethernet).  The printer has been named our son to use in College with his Macbook.  Since then, our two laptops and one desktop have been improved to 10 Windows.  By doing some cleaning on my laptop, I tried to uninstall the HP Officejet (there many other HP programs associated with it), but it won't uninstall.  Select the option to have all associated programs uninstalled also results in the computer laptop restaring and having still uninstalled!

    How can I uninstall these programs HP?  Try safe mode does not work either.  I know it's no big deal to most people, but I don't see the need for these unnecessary programs to take place on my computer (s).

    Thank you

    Hello list,

    What operating system is your PC upgrded to?

    More likely the installed software is supposed to or an earlier version of windows and Windows 10, so the uninstall program does not work as expected.

    If your operating system has been upgraded to Windows 7, run the utility of following deletion as described below:

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL31334/bi-77812-3/OJ6000vE609_Scrubber_14.exe

    If your PC has been upgraded to Windows 8 or 8.1 Windows use following instead:

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL31334/bi-110150-1/OJ_SF_6000_E609_140_408_Scrubber.exe

    Note: If you don't know what version is installed, just follow the two tools.

    Once the folder extracted, launch Uninstall_L4.bat.

    You will see a dialog prompt black box, if noting else happens after 15 seconds press enter once and that the withdrawal will begin.

    Once all completed dialog boxes, restart your PC as instructed.

    Kind regards

  • Impossible to uninstall Hello and itunes.

    Using my uninstall tool, on my personal computer at home, I am unable to uninstall itunes and Hello. I get a message: the component you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource. I called itunes and they said I need a cleanup windows utility that Microsoft took away from them. They told me to contact Microsoft. For $59 Microsoft Help. I need to do so that I can install itunes.

    I found the answer! Online, go to google and search for "windows installer cleanup utility", save the file: downloadthe Windows Installer CleanUp utility 2.5.0.1 free - remove the ...

    Save this file, and then run this file, then go to start and all programs menu, and you will see 'windows Install CleanUp'. Open programs you want to get rid of this andonly click once, and then click on remove. It is another way to uninstall a program, or a file. It worked well for me!

  • Cannot install VIPRE software; Impossible to uninstall Norton 360 (Error 21)

    I had AVG security software uninstalled on my PC running Vista Ultimate. Trying to install Vipre antivirus, to halfway through the installation, I am advised to uninstall Norton 360 (14/09/2008) before the end of the installation.  Trying to uninstall Norton 360 (which I've never installed on my PC), 21 error seems to prevent the elimination of this ghost software...  Using the search tool does not work.   A few days ago I saw the Amazon UK site for the current cost of the Norton 360 for 5th edition.    Anyone have any ideas on how to remove that point of thugs?    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your suggestions...  Under Program Files (C drive), I traced the supply of the software Norton 360 under "Setup my PC" and deleted these files.  However, looking at the Norton Removal tool seemed a trifle compkicated and may have caused other problems. So instead, I downloaded the FREE Avast internet security software on my Vista PC and no problem.  Also, prevoiusly, I had successfully installed VIPRE on my other two PC running XP., on a trial period of 15 days.    My idea is to keep things works fine without hassle.

  • uninstall Norton Security software preloaded Windows 8 on a HP Pavilion g7

    I want to install a different internet security software that delivered Norton software pre-loaded on my HP Pavilion g7.

    This can be done until the Norton software is removed.  Norton Uninstall from the control panel doesn't do the trick (not sure if the Norton software was activated because although Norton is listed in the Control Panel, the file size of the software is not listed, attempts to uninstall here are unsuccessful but can be remove list i).

    I see a software Norton Internet security folder in Program Files (x 86) and when I try to remove this folder from a pop up window and informs me that "file or the file is open in another program-closing of folder/file and try again."

    And here I am stuck.  Where should I go from here?  Anyone?  Thank you in advance for thinking about my question.

  • Impossible to uninstall firefox 31.1 on windows 7

    I tried to uninstall it using the option of area programs and features in Control Panel, as well as the case of uninstall in the program files folder. I ran this time as a normal user and as an administrator without success. I have will go through the process of uninstallation and finishing and asks me to restart my machine. When I reboot, the program is still their and won't disappear.

    I'm trying to uninstall and reinstall Firefox to solve another problem. I get a record of required adobe flash when ever access to a site using flash. I have already installed the latest version of Adobe Flash and I even re-installed. I kept getting the same error. I don't get this error when I use Chrome or Internet Explorer.

    I also downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed to see if that would correct any corruption and that didn't work either.

    Thanks for the tip, but we just found out the problem. Our work installed McAfee adapted that kept us from the uninstall and install programs, even though we had administrator rights. We had to stop McAfee services so that everything works correctly.
