Sorry, that last transmission was a mistake. It was supposed to say:
Perhaps Norton has cleaned up its act by now but several years ago it
had grown to become an enormous resource hog and was near impossible to
completely uninstall. Norton even published a separate application to
uninstall what their normal uninstaller missed. Even so, it took me a
long time to find all the bits and pieces that the second uninstaller
missed and some continued to show up weeks later. I decided that any
application that couldn't completely uninstall itself had a development
organization that was totally out of control and I didn't want any part
of it.
I had been a loyal Norton user for probably 10 years or more but
switched to AVG and now to Avast. I'm much happier and a bit richer
since these apps have free versions.
