If your computer is very slow, and you suspect that the reason for this is an antivirus, then you need to remove it or reinstall it. And if everything is simpler with the utilities, then not everyone can answer the question of how to remove Norton Internet Security quickly and without problems.
In general, not only this company product “suffers” from too complicated and complicated installation and removal, it is a characteristic feature of all software solutions released by Norton. So the user needs to be prepared for a large number of questions during uninstallation, if he still decides to remove Norton Internet Security.
And yet, during the removal process, Norton will offer you to leave your toolbar on the computer , which is designed to provide a quick and safe search on the Internet. It features free features like Norton Safe Search and Norton Safe Web. The first is designed to evaluate the security of the results of your search, when asked in the search engine, it gives for each result found an assessment of the reliability of the site on the Norton scale. The second function helps to monitor the security of the site you are visiting, in case any elements dangerous to the user are found on it, Norton Safe Web immediately signals this.
So, since we’ve finished with the introduction, it's time to move on to the description of the removal procedure itself. We have already found out that if you don’t like how your antivirus works or if you decided to switch to another product instead of Norton Internet Security, it will take you 5 minutes to remove this utility (in case there are no problems in the process) and half an hour (in case there are problems). So get ready to wait.
There are two ways to uninstall - through the "Control Panel" and through the "Start" menu. First, I will describe how to remove Norton Internet Security through the first option.
Go to the "Start", and click on the "Control Panel" there, in the window that opens, go along the path "Programs> Programs and Features." 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.
After going to the list of installed software, right-click on the Norton Internet Security product and select “Uninstall / Change”. A new page will open where you will have to make a choice whether you reinstall the product or delete. If you select deletion, you will be prompted to save or erase all user data from the program directory. If you prefer 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 they will ask you if you want to leave the “Control Panel”, which we talked about above, if you do not need it, feel free to click on “Skip”, otherwise click “Save”.
When the choice of the main questions has been made, you just have to click the "Next" button, which will start the procedure for the complete removal of the utility; upon completion, you will have the last question prepared by the creators of this program. You will be asked for confirmation to restart the computer, choose whether to do it now, or postpone it to a later time.
Only after a reboot can Norton antivirus removal procedure be considered complete.
Now, back to the question of how to remove Norton Internet Security through the Start button.
Click on this button, go to the "All Programs" tab, select Norton Internet Security there and click on the "Delete" tab.
For Windows 8, you will have to perform even less, go to the "Start" screen and click "Uninstall Norton Internet Security" there.
Then we select the necessary programs from the above options to delete the program and click "Delete". After all the tasks the computer completes, it remains to restart it.
Now, in general terms, you know how to remove Norton Internet Security. However, in the description, I deliberately did not address the issue of possible errors, so if you have them, refer to the pages of the Norton support site .
