How can I completely uninstall Norton 360 from my computer?
Asked by

I'm having a tough time getting rid of Norton 360. It doesn't show up in the 'install or change apps' section, and even after using the uninstaller, it still opens automatically when I start my PC. I disable it in the startup settings, but it keeps coming back. I never even downloaded Norton 360 myself, so I'm baffled about how it ended up on my computer, making the whole situation feel pretty suspicious. Can anyone suggest a reliable way to fully remove it?

This often happens because some parts of Norton are still running as a service, even if the main app seems uninstalled. A typical uninstall might not do the job completely, so I recommend using the official Norton removal tool in safe mode. After that, check your services and scheduled tasks to see if anything is still lurking. It's quite common for leftover files to cause these issues rather than it being malware.

I’d try using Revo Uninstaller. It’s a great tool for getting rid of stubborn programs, and it can help with finding leftover files after using the standard uninstaller.

If you didn't intentionally download Norton 360, it might have come bundled with another program. Have you checked the Program Files or looked under Control Panel -> Programs and Features to see if it's listed there? That could help you track it down.
