programs, in task manager ie applications, processes, etc. However in
Windows Security Center under virus, firewall, malware etc it shows the
Norton products as being on and installed. I have run searches for Symantec
and Norton software but none shows up.
My question then is how do I delete the Norton programs in the Security
center.

Hi jvc,
It sounds like you have a entry in the registry still for Norton. Try this to remove all Norton entries.
1. Open regedit.
2. Click Edit.
3. Click Find.
4. Type "Norton" (no quotes)
5. Click Find Next.
6. Delete any entry it finds for "Norton"
7. Click Find Next and repeat step 6 until regedit says complete. (no more entries for "Norton")
