Perhaps then the message is not from Norton at all? Windows XP (and I am
sure future versions) come with a built-in manager for firewall,
security ,etc. It is possible that Norton registered itself with this
manager as the anti-virus solution, and now that Norton is gone, Windows
is trying to helpfully keep warning you that it knows of no virus
manager on your system. You should be able to find the Windows Security
system (there is an icon usually in the "system tray" that you can click
on, and if not, you may find it in Start->Settings->Control Panel). Once
there hopefully there is an option to not worry about the lack of a
anti-virus component. Speaking of which, I hope you are not planning on
running a Windows system without some form of AV software? There are at
least two good free programs available (search for AVG and ClamAV).
I am not a Windows person, and in fact no longer even have the one old
box that I used to dual boot to Windows just so I can figure out what is
going on in the Windows world. So please take my advice with a large
spoon of salt.
