    How do I disable a Norton activation on my netbook?


    I just received my Gateway NightSky LT3119u and the first thing that pops up on screen is an activation. The close button is a faded! What do I do?

    When I try to uninstall, I get:

    Another installer is currently running. Please wait for it to complete and try again.

    Reboot your computer and try again. Also, be sure to use the Norton removal tool: Download Norton Removal Tool 2012.0.5.15 Free - A program that can remove some Norton software from your computer - Softpedia

    I recommend people use the Windows uninstaller instead of a third party's uninstaller. I don't trust third party uninstallers and generally, they aren't as good as the Windows uninstaller.
