Uninstalling NIS 2006....

If Symantec has any tech support people reading this forum..please
respond. I'll make it brief.

My 60 day trial of NIS 2006 through MS is finished, trying to uninstall
it.

I've used the Symantec program uninstaller, off their website, ran it
at least 5 times. Everytime, they said it was successful.

In Security Setting in XP, its telling me that Norton Worm Protection
is on, and so is NAV, although, according to Symantec, they have been
uninstalled 5 times.

I deleted all remnant files off the hard drive, went into the registry,
did searches on Norton and Symantec keys and registry entries...took me
about 45 minutes of searches, and allegedly according to XP all the
entries are gone.

What do I have to do now? hire a voodoo priestess?

I know Norton writes to every single file in your computer, but with
"protection" like this....you would think there would be a way to
uninstall everything off the drive, without having to reformat.

Ideas? I got the priestess on hold in Bimini.....

You'd think with all the negatives posted in the Windows XP newsgroups about
Norton removal problems that a symantec rep would be employed fulltime to
handle the problems.

Since Norton reps don't even hang out in their own support area, I'm certain
you won't see them here.

But, you can try there:
