Upon running the uninstaller for this product I was treated to a small window showing text which appears to be the uninstall log. Glancing over the information I noticed the following... Beginning uninstall of "Norton AntiVirus.pkg". Ran pre-uninstall script. Deleting package files (194 files). Deleted file //Applications/Symantec Solutions/Read Me Files/Norton AntiVirus Read Me.rtf. [...] Deleted folder //Applications/Symantec Solutions/Norton AntiVirus.app. File //Applications/Symantec Solutions was skipped because it couldn't be found.

Deleted receipt /Library/Receipts/LiveUpdate.pkg ... and it continued in much the same vein. While I am not at all happy about the incompetence of the Symantec developer who just deleted my /Library/StartupItems folder (yes, it *really* did delete it), I must say that I am rather ecstatic that the developer was too incompetent to actually find the other folders (or perhaps merely doesn't know the difference between a file and a folder?) which were apparently selected for deletion as well such as /System, /Library, /etc and /Applications. Consider Symantec's uninstaller to be MALWARE. Backup your /Library/StartupItems folder before uninstalling Symantec products or better yet, don't install them in the first place!
