Norton Antivirus Removal Tool

Antivirus plays a major role in keeping your computer safe from virus attacks, spyware, adware et cetera. Previously I discussed about antivirus solution available for Windows7. But sometime antivirus software itself becomes a problem when you want to uninstall it. Suppose I want to install McAfee Antivirus or Kaspersky Antivirus. In such case before installing McAfee or Kaspersky Antivirus you need to make sure that you uninstall Norton Antivirus completely from your computer.

In such circumstances the Norton Removal Tool comes to rescue. Norton Antivirus Removal Tool is free tool from Symantec which can remove many Symantec products. You can use this tool to remove a failed installation or a damaged Norton product also. The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls all Norton 2009/2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products, Norton 360 and Norton SystemWorks 12.0 from your computer.
