First, look at the files below, they are the files of multiple versions of Norton installed in system folder:

C:WINDOWSsystem32S32EVNT1.DLL
C:WINDOWSsystem32SymNeti.dll
C:WINDOWSsystem32SymRedir.dll
C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssymdns.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driversSYMEVENT.SYS

C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssymfw.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssymids.sys

C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssymndis.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssymredrv.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssymtdi.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssymndisv.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssrtspx.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssrtspl.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driverssrtsp.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driversSymIM.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driversCO_Mon.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driversCOH_Mon.sys
C:WINDOWSsystem32driversGEARAspiWDM.sys

And you are supposed to identify the one that is in your PC.

Finally, open the registry list, find the following three files one by one, and delete the two of them as noted.

C:Program FilesSymantec (don't delete it)

X:Program Files Norton# (delete it, X represents the disk where you install the program)

(Note: If you think it's complicated, you also can forcibly uninstall Norton automatically instead of removing Norton by hand.)

Click the start up list; then, type in "service.msc" and choose the "Ok" option to stop it. Then, come back to the registry list (type in "regidit" in "Run" dialogue box) to find whether there are the two files and delete them__

If they do exist, delete them.

Last, it would be possible that the programs of Norton would changed the setting of Winsock. If so, the internet connection of the PC will be disabled after the removing of Norton. So, you are supposed to remember your IP address and type in the "Run" option with these orders: netsh winsock reset-netsh netsh firewall reset.
