NAV leaves a bunch of junk on your HD. They are all safe to delete if
you have no other Norton or Symantec programs such as ACT!, Norton
Utilities or System Works, Ghost and so on.
Symantec has a program that does a pretty good job of removing NAV but
they suggest that you use it only if the NAV uninstaller fails:
RNAV2004.EXE also try SYMCLN.EXE. Additionally go into Control Panel/
Add/Remove Programs and remove Norton/Symantec Live Update and Live Reg.
Look in Program Files/ Common Files/Symantec Shared/ and remove all
Symantec related files (if you have no other Norton or Symantec
programs). Next look in Program Files/Symantec and remove files there
(if you have no other Norton or Symantec programs).
Look in Applications Data folders in the Windows and Documents and
Settings folders. Check under different users.
If you know what you are doing editing the registry, do a search and
clean out the references to Norton Antivirus.
Good luck. BTW, I switched to NOD32 last fall and I've been very happy
with it.
