У многих возникает вопрос, как корректно удалить прогу со своего компа, например, перед установкой новой версии. Ссылка на сайт с соответствующей инструкцией от производителя где-то на предыдущих страницах топика есть, но не у всех, очевидно, хватит терпения, чтобы ее найти. Поэтому выкладываю скопированную мной когда-то эту инструкцию здесь - для общего пользования. Она, естественно, на английском, поскольку от Семантека. Понять, правда, кое-как можно, но если кто-нибудь сможет внятно перевести на русский и выложить перевод здесь, то заслужит, имхо, благодарность многих юзеров.
У Symantec Support есть специальные .reg файлы (+ описание процедуры полной деинсталляции), которые при запуске полностью удаляют NAV-NIS-NSW 2004 (есть и для более ранних версий).

ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/consumer/nis/nis2004xp_reg_removal.reg You came to this document for one of the following reasons:
--You tried to uninstall Norton Internet Security, Norton Internet Security Professional, or Norton Personal Firewall 2004 from Windows 2000 or XP using Add/Remove Programs, and the uninstallation failed. You need to know how to uninstall the program.
--You may have been linked to this document from another Norton Internet Security knowledge base document or sent here by a Symantec Technical Support technician.
Solution:
Use this document when you want to remove Norton Internet Security 2004, Norton Internet Security Pro or Norton Personal Firewall 2004 and its component products, and Windows Add/Remove Programs fails to remove them completely.
Because Norton Internet Security is a group of products, it places many files on the hard disk and many entries into the Windows registry. For this reason, the manual uninstallation requires many steps. Use this method only as a last resort.
Situation:
You tried to uninstall Norton SystemWorks 2004 from Windows 2000 or Windows XP using Windows Add/Remove Programs, and the removal failed. You need to know how to uninstall the program.
Solution:
Use this document when you want to remove Norton SystemWorks 2004 or Norton SystemWorks Pro 2004 and its component products, and Windows Add/Remove Programs fails to remove them completely.
Because Norton SystemWorks is a suite of products, it places numerous files on the hard disk and many entries into the Windows registry. For this reason, the manual uninstallation requires many steps. Use this method as a last resort.
Due to the ability to customize your installation of Norton SystemWorks and differences in editions of the software, your setup may be slightly different from the installation presented here. If you do not see some items listed below, then skip those items and continue with the next item.

ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/consumer/nis/nis2004xp_reg_removal.reg WARNING: These procedures may prevent other Symantec programs from working right. (This is because many Symantec products share files and registry entries. Removing files and entries for one product may remove items used by another product.) If another Symantec product does not run after following these instructions, then uninstall and reinstall that program.

Before you begin: Temporary files and folders are created both when you install programs and during normal Windows operation. Though they are temporary, sometimes they are not deleted. This can cause problems.
The following steps show you how to delete these files and folders. In most cases, it is safe for you to do this because they are no longer needed. However, if you are not sure, instead of deleting the files and folders when you are instructed, move them to a different folder or to external media, such as a CD.
If you are running Windows 2000/XP and more than one person logs on to the computer, repeat this procedure for each user.
