There's a very good reason that Norton is the most widely used corporate Anti-virus software, especially considering that it's not cheap for businesses.

 

I've only good things to say about Norton/Symantec home products. Probably about 20 quid for a 2-3 year licence now.

Norton security products have always failed every test I've put them through... I remember Norton leaving traces when I uninstalled it on test PC... without any removal tool (don't think it was availible then) there was 2 services to remove, around 20 registry entries to remove plus files disguised as system files to remove... It should be uninstall and gone... not uninstall then spend 2 hours removing what's left which would prevent you using any other security app sucessfully until you've done.

 

Norton's backup and partition tools have proven to be good however...

I proved this yesterday... a family member had Norton IS installed on their PC but wanted McAfee.

They uninstalled Norton... but couldn't install McAfee.

 

It took a roll back (to before the uninstallation) and and the removal tool before McAfee could be installed...
