How to Uninstall Verizon Norton Antivirus
If Verizon is your Internet service provider at your home or office, you may have the Norton Antivirus software installed on your computer. It could have come from a disk or as a download. Until 2009, the Norton Antivirus software was installed for free when Verizon Internet service was set up. Since it is no longer a free service for Verizon customers, you may want to remove Norton Antivirus and use another antivirus or security software suite on your computer. The Norton Removal Tool is the only way to remove it.
