NIS 2012 Norton windows gadget

I have uninstalled and re-installed NIS 2012 twice now.  My problem is I cannot get the Norton gadget to go away for good.  I have tried to get into settings and nothing happens.  If I click on the 'X' it goes away until I have to reboot my PC again.

 

I don't want the gadgets for anything, including Norton.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  I was able to remove permanently from my laptop with the same OS, but cannot get rid of it on my desktop.

 

I have tried the refresh and there are no additional gadgets, no that is not the answer.

 

Anyone have any suggestions, this is getting very annoying.

 

Thanks in advance.
