Im tring to install system mechanic pro on a friends laptop but it keeps saying Norton internet security is installed. Norton was uninstalled years ago and kaspersky was put on and ran fine and now he wants to try some thing new. Where can i find norton on this computer?

You can try Revo Uninstaller as it sees hidden installs and deletes keys from registry and hunts them down in there directory's and completely deletes them.

Give it a go as there is a portable version aswell

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool

Revo Uninstaller can crash your registry in a nano if you're not extremely careful and follow all instructions.. it has no safeguards.
