Problem with Norton Internet Security 2005


Question

If anyone can help me with this I'd be eternaly greatful - I've recently purchased a computer that included Norton Internet Security 2005 (60 Day Demonstration version). Not long after that I brought the full version, and was told to wait until the demonstration version had run it's course before installing the paid for product.

The demonstration version ran out yesterday, and I've tried to uninstall it today, so that I could install the full version, however I can't find anything relating to Norton in the Add / Remove Programs Panel. I've tried to install the full version, in an attempt to overerite the demo version, but it just keeps saying that I need to uninstall the demo version before I can go ahead.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix this? Any help'd be appreciated.

Thanks.

Go to C:/Documents and settings/'user name'/local settings or application data folder. Find ANYTHING to do with Norton in the folders and delete it. Also delete the norton folders in PROGRAM FILES filder. Doing this will get rid of most the files. After you have deleted most of the folders, run CCleaner and do a scan for 'problem files' and it will delete reg settings that norton used because they will be classed as invalid because u have deleted the program and files. Then install Norton and it should install correctly.

If that doesnt work, do a restore (about a week ago) and then restart. It will have Norton that u have before on it, Just install the new one and it should uninstall the old one and install the new one.

If that doesnt work, email Symantec and ask them for a solution.

    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.
    • Intel Level L4 cache has been around for a long time, so AMD Zen 3D Cache is a copy of Intel L4 cache that was introduced with Broadwell i7-5775c, which had 128mb of Level L4 cache. Secondly, Zen 6 is not faster in single-threaded performance than 13900k/14900k. 285k is something new Intel is trying, basically showing us that chiplet design does not work for gaming, just like AMD design does not work for gaming. Throwing more cores at it and having L4 cache won't fix the issue, and that is frame dip and stuttering caused by a very stupid design decision to keep the memory controller outside the compute tile. Might as well put a memory controller by bringing back a south bridge chip. lol
    • Just like AMD Zen, it is not going to work for gaming despite 3D Cache. Frame dip and stuttering are giving, which renders 14900KS the greatest gaming CPU ever released.
