Welcome to TSG, super power

Try using Add/remove Pro (freeware) and find all the orphaned entries in Add/remove

Silly question, but did you scroll down?

 

[super power]

yes it was not in there. crazy I know but it was not there but it is in c panel. Man I hate Norton products

 

[super power]

and I have searched for all things Norton in my computer and there is none there,I think maybe my puter is retarded

 

[putasolution]

Go to Start Run
Type in Regedit.exe.
Find the following key in the left hand pane:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Expand it by pressing the + sign to the left

Locate the key to be deleted by locating the key name created by the program. If the name of the key is not apparent, browse through each key and note the value for DisplayName. This is the viewable string in the Add/Remove Programs tool.

Using the Registry menu, export the selected registry key to make a backup. Store the .reg file in a safe location in case you need to import it at a later date.

Delete the selected registry key and its values. Do not delete the entire Uninstall key.

Exit Regedit.

Verify that the reference in the Add/Remove Programs tool is no longer visible.

Download and run the Uninstall utility from here

putasolution: I downloaded add/remove pro, mostly out of curiosity. While it can remove a bogus entry, it also flags legitimate programs. For example, it red-flagged my ad-aware program, which I've got installed and is OK. So you gotta only remove those entries that you KNOW are not valid.
