Norton removal problem

Do they appear in Add/Remove programs?

Are there any services related to them running (see the O23 line in a HijackThis log)?

Is this the same PC as in your other active thread in the Malware Forum?

 

Does Security Center still say the same thing after a reboot and after installing a new AV and a new firewall?

 

Did you install Avast before removing Norton?
Did you install NOD before removing Avast?

Exactly what order were the steps in migrating from Norton to NOD run?

 

You more than likely had multiple antivirus and possibly firewalls installed at the same time at some point. This often messes up Windows Security Center and as far as I know there is no know fix. This is another reason why multiple antivirus applications and firewall must never be installed at the same time.

You may want to check over in the Software Forum to see if anyone is familiar with this issue.

My only suggestion at this point would be to disconnect from the internet and uninstall ALL antivirus applications and firewalls and then to reboot. After reboot delete ALL folders related to the antivirus and firewall. Then double check Windows Security Center know to see what it says. If it still indicates that Norton is protecting your PC, disable all components of Windows Security Center. Then install your antivirus application and firewall and then reboot. Check to see if there is any change in Security Center.
