Hey guys im new to mac and need some help...

I just installed norton antivirus for my mac and the software accidentally created duplicate icons in the top right control panel. I am wanting to delete one of these but haven't been successful.

I already tried the command and drag off but they don't move, they are stuck there.

Any remedies to this? How can i get them off the top right control panel?

Thanks.

So you tried Command-Dragging off of the Menu Bar and it didn't work? Try looking around the program's preferences (or System Preferences) and look for a box that says "Show icon in Menu Bar" or something like that and uncheck it.

Yeah the command dragging off didnt work.

I just looked through the applications preferences and its not looking like there is any option to take icon off of menu bar.

Hey just did some more fiddling around with the program's preferences and it finally dropped the icon from the menu bar.

Thanks for the help!! :D
