I uninstalled Norton IS 2005 with their removal tool from the Symantec
site. It seemed to do a good job and all was well.However, my "Windows
Security Center" still says "NortonInternet Security is currenlty ON."
I've deleted all the residueSymantec/Norton folders left on my drive
by the removal tool and haveremoved almost all of the Norton/Symantec
registry items.

Any help, please?

Thanks!

I already answered this in the post you made to the other newsgroup.
Next time please don't multipost. Here is a link explaining that:

If you can't find your post, use Google Groups Advanced Search and
search for your name.

For efficiency's sake, here is the answer again:

Start>Run>cmd [enter]

net stop winmgmt [enter]
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [enter]
ren repository repository.old [enter]
net start winmgmt [enter]

If you have any questions about this, go back to the thread in the other
newsgroup; I won't be monitoring this one.
