Answer 1

Antivirus 2009 is Rogue software that uses intentional false positives to convince the user that their system has been compromised and then demands money to remove these false threats. In extreme cases the false threats are actually the very trojans that advertise or even directly install the rogue. If Antivirus 2009 has been installed on your system without your permission or you are seeing popup advertising or recommending that you use Antivirus 2009 your system is infected with the zlob trojan.

I uninstalled Norton completely and replaced it with AVG and I love it.  It's awesome.

Answer 5

All depends on how good you are with the Windows

1. u can try to remove registry using REGEDIT (available default with windows) or use some software for the same - This requires backup / or supervision

2. search net for removal tool - which is a .exe to remove certain elements left behind after the uninstall

3. best option - my preferred one - FORmat the system. ask any system mechaNIC TO install NORTON GHOST  n LEARN to use it . this will be beneficial for u in the long run.

Try GOOGLing for all solutions- i tried " norton antivirus removal tool"

n got the following links
