How to Uninstall Norton Internet Worm Protection
Norton Internet Worm Protection is one of the programs included in the Norton AntiVirus security suite produced by Symantec. It acts as a firewall, guarding your computer against threats from viruses, spyware and other malware. Because this application works by automatically blocking incoming Internet traffic, it may interfere with programs running on your computer that receive data from the Internet. You can turn off Norton Internet Worm Protection, but if you want to uninstall it, you must uninstall the complete Norton AntiVirus software suite.
