Uninstall Norton Internet Security and Norton Antivirus

The incompatibility between Win Vista Beta 2 32 bit and Symantec products is
a real mess. The result is I cant use any Antivirus! I cannot install
PCcillin for Vista since it finds the old Norton. I cannot uninstall Norton
since I'm prevented by "Administrator permissions". I'm the owner and the
Administrator and the only user but maybe the system doesn't allow me
"special permissions".
How can I get full permissions in order to wipe out Norton and install
PCcillin? Thank you for an appropriate answer.

RE: Uninstall Norton Internet Security and Norton Antivirus

I had serious compatibiity issues with all Norton products on windows XP, so
I removed them. Do you have the Vista version of NAV? or were you trying to
use the XP version? I was thinking about giving them a second chance, but if
the new version doesn't work, I'll have to get a different AV program.
to uninstall, try disabling UAC (Control Panel->User Accounts->Change
Security Settings)
