[Ti] eliminating Norton

[Kim Gammelgaard]

I really hate Norton/Symantec for this. I once cleaned a PowerBook for
reminiscences of that devilish application, but it is a while ago, so my
memory may be lacking. After I removed "everything", I tend to believe that
I still found things in:

/Library/StartupItems

(the Library at harddisk- or root-level, the / in the front indicates it)

And I am almost certain that I also removed a .kextfile from somewhere, but
I cannot say for sure if or where I found it.

Let us know what you find, Flippers Creator-trick was a good one too.

Cheers,

Kim
