"Norton Security Scan" keeps re-appearing

[Stacy A]

I have this strange phenomena that keeps happening. A desktop shortcut for Norton Security Scan keeps showing up on my desktop at work. I go through the uninstall (through control panel ---> add/remove programs) and it will uninstall, but about two or three days later, it shows up again. We don't have a LAN at work. We all just have a wireless adapter that picks up our internet from the wireless router. Anyone seen anything like this before?

If you have NIS for your work computer I would first talk with your IT Dept. If not you may want to try removing all NIS by clicking on start and then search for Norton and or Symantec and remove them that way.

We have no IT department or person/staff.

I followed your advice Frank and I found a folder under C:/Program Files/Shared Files called Norton Security. It had several other folders in it. I just deleted the main folder. Maybe that will take care of the problem.

I hope that works for you.
