the thorough scan, option 4, should find the symantec marked registry entries - lists them up & you just click the box beside the bold entries
got rid of stubborn remnants of adaware this way, other things like tuneup utilities missed the entries!
Have too add - delete with care & of course ensure there is a registry backup done first

Quote from: lucerne Thanks for that However it could well be that he no longer has the CD or product key. With so many products listed that could make things somewhat more of a problem.
Keep the suggestions coming!
No, no, you misunderstand. You do not need the product key to run the uninstaller, you only need the product key should you be mad enough to want to re-install again afterwards. The uninstaller is well worth a try.

This is probably how I would tackle it:
Download Revo Uninstaller
Download free version of Symantec
Disconnect from Internet
Uninstall existing security software with Revo - clean up with CCleaner and reboot
Install Symantec and remove with Revo - I always use moderate scan, but you could use the deep one.
This is important - when it asks you to reboot, do not let it - click reboot later.
Allow Revo to find left over registry entries, tick the ones in bold type and delete
Clean up with CCleaner and reboot.
Do another registry scan with CCleaner and remove anything if necessary.
Reinstall security software
