Hello Needy:\n\nThe pirated software you have is no good because it requires you to register with Microsoft over the internet. If you dont register, your software will be deactivated with reduced functionality. If you register online, you will be prompted to convert your software into a genuine  copy. It may cost you around $200-$300. Gone are the days when one could use a pirated copy of XP/OFFICE and other Microsoft products.\n\nSorry, you have to BUY the software license.

I don't know about downloading it, but if you have your registration info, you should be able to contact Microsoft with it and they will supply you with a new copy. They should be able to look up your registered software in their records also.

If you're running Windows, uninstall it the standard way.  Go into the control panel, click on add/remove software.  Find the software you want to uninstall and remove it.  That shouldn't break anything.\n\nIf you're talking about spyware, then you should get a spyware removal tool like Spybot Search & Destroy:\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/

No you cannot.  Software licenses are for 1 computer unless specifically stated.  There are many excellent free alternatives though.\n\nFirewall:  Zonealarm\nAnti-virus:AVG\n           Avast\nAnti-spyware:Ad-aware\n             Spybot Search and Destroy

There are three ways to uninstall/remove a program.\n1) Stop the program by right clicking on the icon in the taskbar and then try to uninstall in add/remove program.\n2) Boot your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 and selecting safe mode from the menu while restarting , then follow step 1.\n3)Remove the program from startup menu as follows\n(start > run > type msconfig\npress ok.   Click on startup, uncheck it from the list. click on apply. click on ok. press restart. Check the window that appears after restart, press ok)\nThen go to control panel > add/remove program to uninstall.\n\nIf nothing of the above works. Then The best way to remove unwanted programs which you can not remove from add/remove dialog in control panel on your computer is to remove it from registry. If you are comfortable with manually editing registry, otherwise use registry cleaning software like RegScrubXP to remove the entries of offending software from registry and then use a cleaning software like ccleaner to remove other files such as exes, dlls etc created by the offending program. \nFree RegScrubXP registry cleaner\nhttp://bestofrest.blogspot.com/2006/11/regscrubxp-registry-cleaner.html\n\ndownlod + install + run it.\nWhen you get in the software window.\nClick on user defined problems button.\nIt will display all entries in windows registry under different categories. So scroll down the list till you reach a category company. In this category look at the names in full key, and Main key. If you locate the name there, then check the box in front of its entry and press the button Fix selected entries. It should remove the entry from the registry.\nAfter that you will need another software to remove other files created by the program on your computer. It is ccleaner, if you do not have it already; read how to use it and then download it from here.\nhttp://yanswers.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-use-ccleaner.html

If you still have your license key, contact Microsoft and they can help clear this issue up.  Yeah, I know, it's a pain.  Good luck.

Just remove that program from control panel, or Uninstall it from Add/Remove programs.

you could try going to control pannel, then "add remove programs". or there might be parts of the program still in your registry (most likely). or you can find programs to help you uninstall stuff.

If you registered with Microsoft, call their support and they may be able send you copy. Most likely it is out of support so    you may be SOL

Before you edit the registry, back it up.\n\nAfter you use the Add/Remove program in the Control Panel, you need to open Windows Explorer and find the folder under Programs called Symantec and delete it.  Also, you have to edit the registy.  Click start, run, and typed regedit and press enter.  This opens the registry.  Expand the hive for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and expand it, under software find the folder for Symantec and remove it there.  Also the Hive for HKEY_CURRENT_USER find the Software folder and remove Symantec there also.

it  is possible to do this but it a little difficult. u will have to delete the registry keys to get rid of it. u will have to type regedit in run command and then go to HKEY_current_user then go to microsoft then go to internet explorer and in that typedURLs there delete the keys u don't want.

You'll need to contact Microsoft via telephone (instructions and telephone numbers appear on the activation screen).\n\nYour computer will not shut down if you don't activate the software, but failing to activate the software DOES have consequences...For example, you won't be able to receive any updates to Windows XP...some of which are critical.\n\nThe most common reason for not being able to activate software over the Internet is that the software has already been activated too many times.  If it, in fact, is your copy of the software, and it is registered to you, Microsoft will gladly issue you a replacement key if you ask.
