Re: no uninstall option in programs and features

hi everyone, well i tried to reinstall norton but could not because a message
appears that says" norton could not be installed on this computer because you
have a variant of this program already installed"actually that is not a qoute
but basically what it said, so i tried the removal tool( i found it) but
that says to open 360 then click on my account but the my account option i s
greyed out, i guess because it was a free trial and has expired, so now what?
do i use system restore? and if so will it remove pics that i put on after
that certain point? thanks for any suggestions!
