Hi rosss, welcome to the PCHF.

Norton is like this - it's a "security" messure so that a virus/spyware can't uninstall automatically

The password should be symantec all lower case.

Hi welcome to the forum

This should get rid of it for you
Download and run the Norton Removal Tool

Hi and thank you.
symantec did not work, and the tool states that it need to be removed from the add/remove which ask for a password.
