i Just found this on norton website:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sharedtech.nsf/0/3bb2a8558464c3c...

How do I uninstall Norton Security Scan?

1
    Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.

2
     Click Add or Remove Programs.

3
    Click Norton Security Scan, and then click Remove.

That is so bogus!! because i have tried that anyone know how to do
this manually?

Now I'm concerned about what I've read regarding the inability to
uninstall this program.
I hope a Google rep will be kind enough to research the answer and
write out the instructions.
I don't like having software that re-instates itself after removal. In
my world, I call that a virus.

Help appreciated!

You can try the Revo Uninstaller which eveery traces of the software

Try the Revo Uninstaller fromr "Revouninstaller.com" but be careful
and do not delete system files that revo does not show

Find the entry you're looking for (anything with Norton or Symantec in
the name) and double click it.

Change the startup type to disabled. Click the 'Stop' button (if it's
enabled), and then click 'Ok.'

Close the services Window.

Go to run and type "msconfig"

Go to the services tab and elect to hide Microsoft services (to narrow
your search of Norton products). Uncheck anything with Norton or
Symantec in the name.

Go to the startup tab and uncheck any Norton or Symantec products in
the list.

Finally, download AVG Free and Spybot (be sure to enable TeaTimer).

in the verbose file, you see that the installer (for me at least) is C:

I found reference to it in C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Shockwave 11

In Windows Vista, I opened Setup.log in said directory and found -
File Copy: C:\Windows\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\nssstub.exe

Delete C:\Windows\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\nssstub.exe from your
system.

Also in C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Temp
Remove or quarantine all of the files with Norton in the name.
Also in the same folder, delete NSSstub.txt

I recommend that everyone file a complaint with Adobe for this
nuisance if it is in fact from Adobe Shockwave.

This confirms my suspicions about a marketing partnership between
Adobe and Symantec.

{{{How is Norton Security Scan from Symantec connected to Shockwave
Player?
    As part of a recent distribution agreement with Symantec, Adobe
will offer its customers the option to install the free Norton
Security Scan software as part of the Shockwave Player installation
process. Only customers who accept the Norton Security Scan offer will
download the Norton Security Scan software. Those who decline the
offer will download and install only Shockwave Player. Norton Security
Scan is only offered to users who have either already downloaded the
Google Toolbar or who are not eligible to receive the Google Toolbar
offer.

What is Norton Security Scan?
    Norton Security Scan is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to help
computer users evaluate threats that may reside on their PC's. Norton
Security Scan informs users if their PC's have been infected with
viruses, spyware or malware. With an easy to use interface, users can
either run a full scan of their system or run a QuickScan, which is a
fast scan of the areas of their computer that are most likely to be
targeted by security threats. Norton Security Scan automatically
detects and receives regular updates, so it can effectively identify
the latest virus and spyware threats. Adobe Shockwave users who
install Norton Security Scan can upgrade to Norton Internet Security
or Norton 360 at a special discount.

Why is Norton Security Scan being distributed with Shockwave Player?
    Symantec and Adobe are interested in providing our customers with
the best possible user experiences. Norton Security Scan is being
offered as part of the Shockwave Player install process as an option
to give Adobe Shockwave users the confidence that potential PC threats
can be identified through on-demand or weekly security assessments so
they can take the necessary steps to remediate these risks and ensure
proactive security. Users who do not wish to take advantage of this
offer can easily opt out of the installation.

Does Norton Security Scan contain spyware?
    Norton Security Scan does not contain spyware, nor is it a spyware
application. Adobe is committed to protecting customers' privacy and
does not distribute software that is considered spyware.

Is it possible to uninstall Norton Security Scan once it has been
installed?
    Yes, you can uninstall it using Microsoft® Windows® Add or Remove
Programs.}}}

I had had several unsuccessful trials with the Norton Removal Tool.
