    You could try installing the microsoft windows installer software, assuming you are running XP

    Alternativly download and use the Norton removal tool from symantec

    Click for more activation options, then activate by telephone. Run the keygen.

    zonealarm is so bloated though. It's also a memory/resource sucker.

    To get rid of norton, use the removal tool to completely get rid of it. Just uninstalling it won't get rid of it, as the registry and .dll's are all still there. Just google it or dig around on symantec's site.
