can someone send me the link to this tool, why is this tool so difficult to find?
I suggest you join the symantec forums as per my comment and then you can send JimW  a message.
I've not gone past finding the solution, but if you need any more help getting it from them as such, please let me know by posting a comment here.

Why is it so difficult to find?
Damned if I know. But Symantec have not always been forthcoming with "proper" removal tools IMHO.

I have always successfully run:

MsiExec.exe /norestart /q/x{BA4B71D1-898E-4306-AE87-8BA7A596F0ED} REMOVE=ALL

from command line. This is specifically for version 10. I don't know what the key for version 11 is off the top of my head. Do some google searching or just browse your registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Uninstall\...for symantec keys.
EDIT:



'The key for version 11 is:
 
{49C27FB0-CEEF-4A11-8114-0BFE336D3884}
 
'so the entire command is:
 
MsiExec.exe /norestart /q/x {49C27FB0-CEEF-4A11-8114-0BFE336D3884} REMOVE=ALL

Open in new window

EDIT: sorry

The key for version 11 is:
 
{49C27FB0-CEEF-4A11-8114-0BFE336D3884}
 
so the entire command is:
 
MsiExec.exe /norestart /q/x {49C27FB0-CEEF-4A11-8114-0BFE336D3884} REMOVE=ALL
