How to remove Norton Internet Security

If your computer is running very slowly, and you suspect that the reason for this is an antivirus, then you must remove it or reinstall it. And if everything is clearer with utilities, then it's not everyone who can answer the question about how to remove Norton Internet Security quickly and without problems.

In general, not only this product of the company "suffers" from too complicated and confusing installation and removal, this is a characteristic feature of all Norton's software solutions. So the user should be prepared for a large number of issues when uninstalling, if he still decides to remove Norton Internet Security.

And, during the removal process, Norton will prompt you to leave your toolbar on the computer , which is designed to provide a fast and secure search on the Internet. It features such free features as Norton Safe Search, as well as Norton Safe Web. The first is designed to evaluate the safety of the results of your search, when you query the search engine, it gives an estimate of the reliability of the site on the Norton scale for each result. The second function helps to control the security of the site you are visiting, in the event that any dangerous elements are found on the site, Norton Safe Web immediately signals this.

So, once we have finished with the introduction, it's time to go on to the description of the removal procedure itself. We have already found out that if you do not like how your antivirus works or if you decide to switch to a different product instead of Norton Internet Security, it will take you to remove this utility from 5 minutes (in case if there are no problems in the process) and up to Half an hour (in case there are problems). So be prepared to wait.

There are two ways to delete - via the "Control Panel" and the Start menu. First I'll describe how to remove Norton Internet Security through the first option.

Go to the "Start", and click there on the "Control Panel", in the window that opens, go to "Programs> Programs and Components". If you do not really understand how to get to the "Programs" menu, then you should select the "Category" option in the "View" drop-down list.

Go to the list of installed software, right-click on the product Norton Internet Security and select "Delete / Edit." A new page will open where you will have to make a choice, reinstall the product or delete it. If you select delete, you will be prompted to save or erase all user data from the program directory. If you choose not to save your passwords, you should choose this option, and if you plan to install NIS again in the future, you can leave all this information.

Now you will be asked if you want to leave the "Control Panel", which we mentioned above, if you do not need it - safely press "Skip", otherwise click "Save".

When the choice of the main questions is made, you need to press the "Next" button, which will start the procedure of complete removal of the utility, at the end you will have the last question, which was prepared by the creators of this program. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to restart the computer, select whether you want to do this now, or postpone it at a later time.

Only after the reboot the procedure for removing the Norton antivirus can be considered complete.

And now back to the question of how to remove Norton Internet Security through the "Start" button.

Click this button, go to the "All Programs" tab, select Norton Internet Security and click on the "Delete" icon.

For Windows 8 actions have to be done even less, go to the "Start" screen and there click "Delete Norton Internet Security".

Then select the necessary options from the above options to remove the program and click "Delete". After all the tasks are completed, the computer will execute, and then restart it.

Now you in general know how to remove Norton Internet Security. However, in the description, I deliberately did not touch upon the issue of possible errors, so if they are available, please refer to the pages of the Norton support site .
