Sometimes, Norton comes preloaded and bundled with a new computer. When I
was bringing one up for a client, I noticed Norton started installing,
without warning. I stopped it, removed as much as I could, and continued
bringing the rest of the applications. It wasn't until later, that this
computer was having problems. There were no signs of Norton that I could
find. I down loaded their removal tool and sure enough, it found some more
vestiges. System has been running fine now for over a year. I have never
had a good experience with a Symantec products since the DOS days.
