I have just spent about an hour trying to remove this useless junk from my computer. Seems it uninstalls but likes to keep itself in the registry...

Not best impressed. :x

I think you can use the Removal Tool from Symantec Website no idea if it works, I am happy with Norton as long as it does not lags.

I had that same problem with Norton. Mcafee insisted that Norton was still present, I rate Mcafee higher using less Ram on my system.

I had problems with both Norton and McAfee. when I installed McAfee, it slowed my PC right down. It was as if I had installed virus software rather than anti-virus software.

So I would like to take this opportunity to plug the excellent and highly recommended Panda anti-virus software. and you can get it really cheap on eBay.

Avoid Panda- lets in some horrible nastys... go for AVG Internet Security. Never had a problem yet and worth paying £50 + VAT for 2 years... buy it through a reseller if you can though - support the little guy!

I use AVG, but I can't get it to work with Thunderbird. It just pops up a box with a load of server names and won't go away. I've disabled it as I don't really need it, but it turns on again every time I restart.
