Symantec anti-virus

I have a dell desktop. My friend had a chance to buy a dell desktop and flat screen from her workplace for 50.00. Heck of a deal. It has been running slow here lately so I went over and did a good cleaning of the files, and everything. It has a old Symantec anti-virus on it. Problem I am having is when I try to uninstall it, it is asking for a password that was put on there in 2006 and who knows what this password is. How in the world am I going to get this off? I installed security essentials for the anti-virus already. I really would like to get this symantec off. Thanks for any info.

 

Hello,
If this was an admin password, AppRemover can sometimes remove the application without knowing it.

 

If it's the corporate version of Norton which is asking for the password- the default PW is "symantec". Could be capital "S".

Else give Appremover a shot.
