[G4] Re: How to Ditch Norton (Again)

[Richard M. Kriss]

David,

Thanks....... I followed your tip and found all kinds of "Norton" crap all
over the hard drive.  It has all been trashed.  It will be interesting to
see if this gets rid of the nag note.

The files I deleted were all visible .... God only knows what kind of
invisible stuff is scattered around.

What is really needed is an Norton purge tool!
