Just delete the Symantec folder....if you've uninstalled it. Remove/unselect any Symantec/Norton link you see in your startup list StartMenu->Run->msconfig .... Startup tab. And in Services tab too. This should do the trick at least partially.
It ain't easy to find anti-virus for the anti-virus app
Good luck

Try running this version of SymNRT I was the one that posted the link before and right after I posted it norton disabled the tool totally. So meh had to hunt out a final version.

If this still doesnt work use spybot and hijackthis to disable all norton programs reboot then do start>run>regedit and delete anything by symantec or norton that you can find and it will let you.

Then use hijackthis to delete the symantec folder and files etc on startup with the misc options.

If you still cant remove it pull out a hammer from the tool box and smash your hard drive cuz ITS IMPOSSIBLE!
