Yes, reboot and try again. (They might already be GONE).



Sometimes you have to REBOOT Twice before you can install another Anti-virus software package.



Good luck and Happy Computing!

Without knowing what instructions you were following, it is kind of hard to guess.



What version of Norton were you using?



Which instructions were you following?



What operating system are you running?



Do you know how to log in as administrator on your computer? That may be all you need to delete these files - otherwise I would try to delete them while in Safe Mode.



Sometimes you may need to stop the process from running (can do this from Task Manager - bring up with Ctrl-Alt-Del) and go to the Processes tab. You may need to END TASK on the processes that you are trying to delete.



HTH : )
Yes Norton is really a pain. Have you tried going to the control panel and then clicking on Add / Remove programs and removing anything with Norton in the name. That may help.
I've had similar problems with files that won't delete. Try renaming the files and then deleting.
Yes, norton has been unusable since the switch to osx. try repairing permissions with disk utility and try again. if that doesn't work, then cmnd f the files and change the ''owner'' to you, assuming you are administrator. Unless you run windows, then i recommend suicide.
