I&#039;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!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I DOUBLED the speed of my previous machine by removing Norton.<br

isPermaLink="false">http://www.pcmech.com/article/completely-removing-norton-from-a-machine/#comment-7232</guid> <description>Just a comment regarding the Norton&#039;s removal issue. For several years I used Norton&#039;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 &#039;protected deleated&#039; files with their Norton&#039;s Wastebasket. Had to go on the internet to find a solution to remove it (sorry can&#039;t remember exactly but it IS there). Still can&#039;t remove the file completely, but I am down to 24k instead of the 9 gigs. When I searched Norton&#039;s, their comment was basically, &#039;sorry we can&#039;t help you&#039;. You might want to pass this on to readers who are having a storage problem and can use the extra space.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a comment regarding the Norton&#8217;s removal issue.
