Need to uninstall Norton Safety Minder Utilities

Question

I am tired of using Norton Safety Minder Utilities, I want to uninstall it now.

But I wonder whether I should use Windows Add/Remove Programs or Norton’s own uninstaller. Which one should I use? Or should I use both?

Answer 1

From experience I'd say try Add/Remove (or Programs and Features) and then use the Norton Uninstaller as a last resort. The Norton Uninstaller does take a long time to run but does a very thorough job of cleaning up, but I wouldn't recommend running it unnecessarily.

Answer 2

I think the Norton Uninstaller is a bit overkill, its normally recommended when you have trouble removing the software.

Try a Add/Remove first, if this leads to complications further down the line then i suggest looking into Norton Uninstaller

Answer 3

I recommend you using Revo Uninstaller (Free). After uninstalling the program with its native uninstaller, it searchs for your disk and the entire registry for probable leftovers (files, folders, registry entries).
