Hi Jon,
Been doing a lot of surfing on this subject since I posted, and may have to get out that dish of crow, or humble pie at the very least.
I can recall a time or two when I did have a miserable time uninstalling a Norton product to install a new one. Blamed the operating system.
Yesterday I ran across a forum where this very topic was being discussed and reference was made to a software company that had a piece of software that would uninstall Norton Products. What they claim in their hype regarding the registry entries left behind when a Norton product is uninstalled is absolutely dumbfounding.
Here's their URL.

Interesting that Norton is considered bad in enough quarters that another company can make money producing software to uninstall them.
Good to "see " you again.
