Norton Removal Tool will remove a failed installation or a damaged Norton product. It uninstalls all Norton 2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products from your computer. If you use ACT! or WinFAX, back up those databases before you proceed.
Reviewing 2010.0.0.98 (Sep 21, 2009)
Does exactly what it advertises - and is fairly thorough. Doesn't get ALL Norton traces, but 99% ain't bad. And it's a helluva lot better than CA (no removal tool that works), AVG (broken removal tool), McAfee (not bad, but not as good as Norton) or ZoneAlarm (none and uninstaller doesn't work more often than not).
For those bagging Norton - probably worth trying it again. It isn't 2006 anymore, and Norton's 2009-2010 product is arguably the fastest integrated product on the market (NIS, not 360).
Reviewing 2010.0.0.98 (Sep 14, 2009)
I tried this today, on the SAV Corp. version, and the thing insisted that I use Add/remove programs to remove the application, which wasn't working to begin with, and the reason for using this to begin with..
-- I had to go through the system, and kill it manually.
then ran it again, and there was still a ton of Symantec junk in the system folders, and registry.,.
