[G4] Can I remove Norton Auto-Protect from System Preferences window?

[Michael L. Brown]

Try using their uninstaller, the second link at the following URL:

http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/files/navm/nav_mac_9_files.html

I is the only way I know of removing all the bits hidden all over 
your boot drive. I upgraded to NAV 10 for Mac, now that I am using OS 
10.4.1. NAV 9 for Mac can not handle the changes to the filling 
system in Tiger. See thread on MacFIXIT.com for more detail. NAV 10 
also allows one to designate "safe" zones to be searched 
automatically for the first time under OS 10.
