Winapp2.ini Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 To my knowledge I have no symantec products on my computer, so I disabled the services. I'm waiting on deleting them to find out whether or not I should. opinions? :3 -Rob winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Symantec = Norton. Norton sucks. But deleting Services? I assume it's both safe and best to just Disable them. That way if you needed them for some God-forsaken unknown reason, you could Able them again. "Disabled" is like breaking their necks in a Schwarzenegger kind of way. "Could my friend have a blanket? He's just dead." They can't turn back on without your permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 I consider Norton legal spyware, I think those services are the reason my computer comes up as having norton on it. The norton removal tool doesn't even work It just flashes a command prompt window and disappears :S I disabled them, and by your advice I wont delete them. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoKenny Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The last time I used Symantec Norton products the removal tool was me. Start regedit then go to Find then search on Norton then delete the entry it finds by using Del then F3 ( repeat find ) Go back to the beginning of the registry then search on Symantec then delete the entry it finds. Rinse. Lather. Repeat as necessary. This removes the plethora of droppings that the Symantec cretins insist on leaving behind. Then use Search to find Norton then Symantec file or Folder droppings so that you can send them to &Hotplace. I'm telling you how I really feel.
