I got rid of all NSW including NAV by doing the obvious stuff first, then
clearing the Registry of all entries that remotely smelled like Norton or Symantec
and all other directories on my hard drive that had those names in them.

After that I reinstalled everything from scratch and have had no trouble since.

here's a handy tool for clearing out the registry. the best part is it works!
One would have to wonder   IF all the programs had uninstallers and they then determined they had to make a program to uninstall the leftovers,  would uninstalling the cleanup program uninstall completely?  Or would you need still yet another program to clean it out?

Be sure to uninstall the Live Update
