Funny the OP blames Norton for WSC's inability - it is hardly the
fault of an uninstaller to correct WSC's lies.

Since the installer made modifications to WSC to make it lie, the
uninstaller is at fault for not undoing that. Not the Poster.

I see that point. I assumed too much about how the suckurity center
worked. So, it trusts whatever info is fed to it as being the actual case
instead of actually checking for a specific scheduled process - and this
problem is really no different than an uninstaller neglecting to remove a
system tray icon - except that it is interpreted by the user as much more
important.

I wasn't blaming the poster :)) I was assuming that a security application
wouldn't so easily allow information it displays (in a security context) to
be manipulated by other programs.

I suppose someone could write a program so the security center displayed
that the household toilet is running. :))
