I'm assuming that you are running Windows XP. If so any application should be removed through Start - Settings - Control panel - Add or Remove programs.
Now select the Norton application you wish to remove from the list and click the button at the right (should say something like change/remove). Follow the on-screen instructions.
It sounds as if you are trying to remove the application by deleting it from your harddrive through Explorer. This could cause your Windows to become unstable!! Always remove an application through the control panel!!
If you have Norton Internet Security (NIS) installed, then you will probably see two applications: NIS and NAV (Norton Anti Virus) in the programs list. If this is the case then you should be able to remove NIS, leaving NAV installed. If NAV isn't listed seperately then you can only remove the full NIS suite. You should then install another anti-virus program (doesn't McAfee include this?)
