Check and it's all set to automatic.

I think I've disabled it from running at start up anyway but it would be good to remove it completely just in case.
I've contemplated just deleting the Norton folder in Program Files to remove it but I'm sure there would still be some files left somewhere as it would not be "properly" uninstalled.
How else can I safely remove all Norton software if it won't give me the option in "Add/Remove Programs" or any uninstall option from the start menu? I've looked for an uninstall file in the Norton folders but found nothing.

I'm going to try the wireless USB reciever in another laptop and see if I can connect with that. If I have the same problem then I think I can safely say it's the USB adapter and not the PC.
