Many applications have very poorly configured uninstall routines.
Especially Norton - hence the regularly updated Removal Tool.
Problem is that they are not written to deal with files that remain active (in use).

Best to go into safe mode - F8 at Startup - and try to do a proper removal, as mentioned, with...

Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

Most amusingly, many people find that they cannot even remove Norton in Safe Mode !
Progress, huh ?
