Norton Security Scan removal

[@thewatercooler]

I stupidly let my brother on my computer and he somehow download Norton Security Scan program. As I know with any Norton program you cannot simply uninstall from uninstall programs. After some research I have read that this program is some sort of virus. There is not an uninstaller on Norton's website for security scan. I read the rules before entering and know that you want a hijack this log, but my vista won't allow me to run it as an administrator for some reason. I am posting my malware bytes log which shows no malware. I have also ran a complete Avast virus scan and it came back with nothing. If you could please help remove Norton's security scan I would be grateful. I was also supposed to tell you that my husband is gamblingman, and he asked that you help me because he is way too busy to help at this point. Thanks

As long as you uninstalled norton security scan from add/remove programs you are fine. NSS comes with a few different programs you can download online as optional. There is no need to worry.

Yeah Norton Security Scan is just a stupid little add-on that comes with other software. It's not a virus and removing it through Add/Remove Programs is all you need to do.
