A f(r)iend installed Norton Life Lock on my computer some time ago. The web safe component of it seems to have properties of a Star Trek race. Every time I try to download torrenting software, Norton's stops the download.
Last night I got fed up enough to fresh install my system but somehow this Norton's smeg seems to have reinstalled. Even with my newly built system if I try to download utorrent 2.2.1 I get the download blocked by Norton.
There is NO norton icon in the task bar and there is no norton product showing up in Apps.
Does anyone know of a way, short of installing Linux, to get rid of this smeg?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
<update>
Tried the Norton site and found a "Remove and Reinstall" tool available.
Downloaded the R&R tool and selected remove only from the advanced tab.
Allowed the computer to reboot as requested by Nortons.
Logged back in and tried the utorrent download again but still get the dialog above.
Still hoping for someone to suggest a way forward.
