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

Alternativly download and use the Norton removal tool from symantec
when you do delete Norton ...don'nt install mcafee ...instead use what the pro 's and hacker use Zone Alarm Pro...the compete Security for your computer
hahaha pro's and hackers only using a software firewall. good one.
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.
