Default Norton Internet Security problems

A friend of mine installed Norton Internet Security on a Gateway over Norton
Antivirus 2004 and ended up not being able to start up MSIE and Outlook
Express. He has a million icons in the taskbar and as many programs running
in the background per Ctrl-Alt-Delete route. He was told that LiveReg and
LiveUpdate had to have been deleted first but now of course they cannot be
purged. Short of backing up data files and reformatting (he is an extreme
novice and I cannot and shouldn't get in the middle of that), is there a way
to recover? He does have GoBack but that doesn't resolve the previous
Norton files issue. Maybe deleting the files from DOS before Norton gets
loaded? Or maybe he and I should get loaded? My suggestion to him is to go
to a good computer shop with his install disks and have them reinstall the
whole shootin' match. Thanks for any help or advice.
