    Removing Norton Antivirus

    I have inherited a PC loaded with Norton Antivirus (V7.51.850). We use McAfee corporate so I tried to un-install Norton, unfortunately it asks for a password to un-install and here's the catch. I don't know it!! Nobody does. I've tried all the usual suspects and yes I've tried no password. No joy.



    Does anyone know how to remove this from the pc without the password? I would just reload Windows if the PC didn't have a very important database on it that cannot simply be moved and re-installed.
