Request for help...Laptop moving very slowly

[huskerfan1200]

To get rid of that dll, involves re-installing your Norton application, starting it up, then disabling all of the app features like real time/system protections, run at startup, automatically check for updates, scan on drive insertion etc.. via the applications "options" or "configuration" for each of it's little feature sets... once you get the application so that it's just "installed on the drive" and not running, at startup, or any time, unless you run the .exe
Then you have to reboot the computer, open up the startmenu, control panel, or settings/control panel? then administrator tools, then "services" find any DLL or "service" related to your antivirus/antimalware application, then set the service to "disabled" then click stop... You may have to restart windows and go into safemode for the service to actually stop. Then you have to open task manager and ensure that there are no instances of that file, or any other of your antivirus's file's runing in processes or applications... Once you have verified that, then you run the removal tool..... It's a real pain..

Thanks for the information.

Since I no longer have access to the original Norton program, would there be any (much) harm in 'letting sleeping dogs lie'? If not, I am fine with it staying there.

Thanks again.

Have you tried removing this in SAFE MODE? That is one of the suggestions I have found for use when a Norton program disk is no longer available.

Found others but they involve a registry edit.
Delete the following registry keys using REGEDIT

Delete: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BDA77241-42F6-11D0-85E2-00AA001FE28C}

Delete: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6F952B50-BCEE-11D1-82D6-00A0C9749EEF}

Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\SharedDlls
In the right pane, delete all keys with Symantec shown in the path

Used rededit to delete these items. Reboot and was then able to delete the Symantec Shared folder containing the vpshell2.dll. Thanks for the help on this.

I set the restore points now.

New (last?) HJT log is below.

Thank you very much for your help!
