I'm hoping the removal tool works on the bundle-ware currently infecting my system. Since I answered no to the eula agreement I guess I can always reverse engineer their products and publish my results! I DOUBLED the speed of my previous machine by removing Norton.

For several years I used Norton's System Works, finally I felt it was just too big for my system, so I decided to remove it and go with AVG for my anti-virus. After removing the program with the regular uninstall (it seemed to remove all), I noticed one file in my root directory called NTDETECT. Could not remove it for anything. This file was 9 gigs in size. The file is used to store the 'protected deleated' files with their Norton's Wastebasket. Had to go on the internet to find a solution to remove it (sorry can't remember exactly but it IS there). Still can't remove the file completely, but I am down to 24k instead of the 9 gigs. When I searched Norton's, their comment was basically, 'sorry we can't help you'. You might want to pass this on to readers who are having a storage problem and can use the extra space.
