Try the Norton Removal Tool. It just removes ALL of the files individually and all of the keys in the registry. Free to download and use.

Norton removal tool is a pile of crap and doesn't work if Norton is not showing up in add/remove.
This doesn't solve anything.

Just go to control panner and click add or remove then go to symantec and click change now you can see repair,modify,remove.click remove.that's it.
