I'm not sure of the cause, but I used File Menu Tools (free at download.com) to remove Norton- as well as several other offending/ unwanted programs with its Advanced Delete feature.

Good luck with that.

edit to add: This should be in the Questions section of the forums. (If the previous statement insults you, I am sorry.)

Silly question. You are using an administrator account aren't you? It sounds to me like it might be considering you a limited user. Also have you tried safe mode?

I would suggest a "repair installation" of the OS. That way, you don't lose any personal files or program installations.

I tried everything.Reapairing the OS, antivirus, windows updation..everything... nothing works..I reinstalled windows again...
