I have been fighting tooth and nail all morning getting Norton Anti-Virus Corporate 10.0 uninstalled on 20 PC’s.

15 were fine, but 5 chose to fail having their uninstall roll back.

The installers inbuilt repair option did not work. Likewise Installing on top of the current version made no difference.

Symantec provide users of their consumer/home products with automated removal tools for bad or corrupted installs. However Corporate users get  3 or 4 pages worth of registry hacks that have to be done manually key by registry key.

Out of desperation I followed the instructions in one of the documents and it took nearly 40 minutes to clean up one machine by hand.

The link below is for  the various manual removal procedures for the Corporate version.

If anyone knows a better way to remove this product let me know (use the comments).
