How can I get rid of Norton/Symantic from my laptop?

The laptop was originally preloaded with norton antivirus. It is now out of date and I use other software for such protection so Norton is redundant.

However, it constantly pops up with reminders.

I have tried deleting it but it won't let me

It doesn't appear in the Add/Remove programmes list

I have tried unticking the appropriate boxes in msconfig startup

Any ideas, it is beginning to drive me mad
