Title: Norton Removal Tool removes Norton Ghost
Post by Don Schneider on Jan 6^th, 2009 at 6:04pm

I am using Ghost 12 and am planning on using the Norton Removal Tool to remove Norton Internet Security from my computer.
This will also remove Norton Ghost and I would like to know if there is a way to prevent this? I am presently using Ghost to backup all my files.
After I use the removal tool what has to be restored besides the usual program files? I assume the registry also but what else?
Or should I just re-install Ghost after running the removal tool? Will this still allow me access to my backup files?

As you can see I need your help here and I thank you for any advice, Don

If you still have the Ghost install disk, then just run the removal tool and then re-install Ghost. It's just that simple.

Cheers mate!

I have done this, and it's no biggie.

I would uninstall Ghost first.

Then just install everything afterwards .. just like normal (and run Live Update).

The NRT does a good job of wiping out all remnants of programs.
