800090 2009-08-11 03:48:00 When I didn't know better and used Norton myself, I found that often even their own removal tool did not work.

At the time, Norton caused me to reinstall windows 3 times :lol:

I bet that uninstallnorton.com site is run by Symantec....

800091 2009-08-11 04:43:00 Uninstall Norton is successfuly 97% of the time. Uninstall Norton normally sells for $69.95. Here you save $30. Or Have Our Technicians Uninstall Norton For You - Usually we can help you avoid you having to reformat your hard drive.

:lol:

If the usual uninstall doesn't work, there is there own free removal tool. If that doesn't work, Revo Uninstaller.

If nothing works, there is always the totally free DIY MANUAL uninstall. Painful, but perfect

Sell a Crap product that doesn't work, support - whats that ? and causes all sorts of problems
Charge same people even more money on dodgy programs, that can be downloaded for free - make even more Money.

Seems to indicate to me that the date is sourced from a javascript process? Correct me if I ' m wrong :)

Bollocks . Leaving it in is infinitely worse .
