Registry?

Just a quick question is it OK to delete the Symantec Folder from the Registry Editor without causing any impact to my PC? As I have now switch to a freeware Anti Virus now and no longer use Norton as it ran out and I did not want to renew it.

Try Symantec´s official removal tool first:

If the registry entry is still there after you´d used the removal tool you can delete it.

I really hate Norton. You buy 'Norton Anti-Virus' and it ends up installing random crap like 'Norton Floppy Disk Integrity Checker' or 'Norton System Clock Accuracy Agent'.

Ridiculous :p
