Uninstalling Norton may not be easy, it can hook deep into the system.

Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove is the normal way to remove a program once it has been stopped.

However, I would hold off removing anything until a helper assists you in your malware forum topic.

S/he will be the best person to guide you and give you tips for the anti virus program to suit your needs.
