I realized that norton security scan is installed in my computer and I am unable to remove it simply through control panel - add/remove program. I tried installing the removal tool from their homepage but the "latest" download they have on the site is expired. Hence, i am unable to remove it through their uninstaller.
May I know if there's any other method to resolve this problem? Thanks.

All the while Norton removal tool is here, unless your Norton is old.
Edit: Fixed link.

OK. I figure out your problem.
http://www.adobe.com/products/director/special/crossproduct/faq.html
As part of a recent distribution agreement with Symantec, Adobe will offer its customers the option to install the free Norton Security Scan software as part of the Shockwave Player installation process. Only customers who accept the Norton Security Scan offer will download the Norton Security Scan software. Those who decline the offer will download and install only Shockwave Player. Norton Security Scan is only offered to users who have either already downloaded the Google Toolbar or who are not eligible to receive the Google Toolbar offer.
Do you have Google Toolbar installed?

Sorry, but i don't have google toolbar installed if I am not wrong. The method below didn't seem to work out. I can't find it in the list.
- Is it possible to uninstall Norton Security Scan once it has been installed?
- Yes, you can uninstall it using Microsoft® Windows® Add or Remove Programs.

One way we can do is to manually remove it instead of looking around for an uninstaller
Yea, saw it in the list of programs. Besides that, it sometimes launches itself to do some occasional scanning.

If Kenn3th's one doesn't work, try the following:
Do what Alucard says
1st step:
Delete the folder.
To find the folder, go to start->program->{your norton thingy's startup}
right click->properties
The folder will be listed in TargetThen you open windows explorer to go to the folder and manually delete
After deleting, delete it from your start
To do so, go to start->program->{your norton thingy's startup}
right click->deleteYou might need to delete one by one.
