I used to defend Norton products, but that was until it decided it didn't want to leave my system. I started getting an error whenever I opened an Office application... something about MSIs not supporting the repair feature. Google searches revealed this to be related to something screwed up with Norton.
So I try to uninstall System Works, starts uninstalling and then Anti-Virus refuses to uninstall, and it craps out. I decide to try to repair System Works, but it gives me an error. I try reinstalling System Works, but it says it's already installed and won't let me. So I delete the Norton System Works folder, reboot, and run a registry cleaner. I
still get the error in Office! So I try to reinstall System Works again, and
it still says it is installed!
Eventually I just reformatted. I won't touch their crap again.
