How do I get rid of this "Norton" pop up window that pops up frequently?

Well I tried it and deleted what i thought was the norton program but the problem still persists. Is there some place that tells the computer to check for norton everytime a new external device is added to the desktop? I have no idea why its still doing it but everytime I open up a device which pops up on the desktop as "something external" this window pops up.

Ok here is what i get in that first thing you said (I dont even know what half of these are - should I get rid of them as well?):


Here is what i found in the "other" row (i also have no idea what these are - should i get rid of them?)


Now, im sorry for being a total dope but how do you find those other places you mentioned?

Ok here are my results - only 2 had anything and i have no clue what any of it means?

/private/var/run/StartupItems EMPTY

/Library/StartupItems EMPTY

/System/Library/StartupItems:

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons:

/Library/LaunchDaemons EMPTY

ok well the norton/symantec uninstaller found nothing to uninstall so its on to step 2 i suppose?

ok it looks like this Easyfind found a "KTUM.kext", "SymEvent.kext" and "SymOSXKernelUtilities.kext", do i just put them in the trash and empty, then restart?

All 3 were all in this same place:



Does that tell you anything?

And what is that 3rd thing you mentioned? The "navx" thing?

Ok so I trashed the "previous systems folder" (which took forever to "empty the trash" & was apparently almost 6 gigs - does this mean anything?) and this is what I found in the "bin" folder:



As you can see, there was no "Navx" that I could find. Do you think that the problem could have something to do w the "previous systems folder"?

Ok so which should I try?

"There are two approaches to resetting Launch Services:

1. Use a third-party utility, such as Cocktail or Yasu, to rebuild or reset, respectively, the Launch Services database. Be sure to employ a version of the utility that is compatible with the version of Mac OS X you are using.
2. Reset Launch Services manually: follow the steps in the order specified for the version of Mac OS X you are using:

o Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard®.
o Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger®. "

And are there any specific things I should know, note or pay attention to while doing this?
