This is the bane of any Windows machine. Mine has just expired so I needed to renew. Having seen the cost of renewal I decided to find a cheaper alternative. Luckily Microsoft now do a basic anti virus software - ideal. So I down loaded this and uninstalled the old version of Norton 360. Great. I went to install the Microsoft software and found this would not work. Having routed around in the control panel I found that not all components of the Norton software had been installed - GRRRRR.
So having spent another 30 minutes or so uninstalling all of the components from Norton I finally go the Microsoft software to work. Then I thought I need to cancel my Norton account. Another fruitless and frustrating hour as I could not contact anyone without installation key - and guess what this had been deleted when I uninstalled the software.
The moral of this story? Well I don't think there is one but this is just another frustration of using Windows operating system. You need anti virus software but when it come times to remove it it seems to have many of the properties of the software it is trying to protect you from.
