Deleting Legacy Application Data from Registry

[jrichar9]

I am trying to totally delete ALL reference to Symantec Norton Antivirus that is in my registry. I have deleted all expect those in the LEGACY applications folders.

How can I (or should I) delete these LEGACY references?

Don't want to mess up my registry. I have backed it up just in case.

Thanks!

Jim

IMHO, leave them alone. In the few cases where I checked values in the Legacy section, they matched a brand new machine straight out of the box. Either the OS put them their or the manufactuer did. Either I felt it safer to leave them alone.

Head to the Symantec site. They have a reasonable manual cleaner. I agree it does not do everything, but one issue in particular I would like to caution you about to check/clean by hand:
