Norton used to be the de facto anti-virus back in the day - not sure why anyone would willingly install it on a computer these days...
Now I won't say that NIS2K7 is the best out there, because it isn't, but it's kinda sad that people around here are quick to shoot it down just because it bears the Norton name.
If you still call Norton bloatware you might as well call KAV the same AV test at PC World because their numbers are pretty close together.
And before anyone mentions "oh, it's just another magazine test" this test was performed by AV-test.org, a highly respected AV test firm in the security world.
And also I agree about not really needing the removal tool anymore. I have successfully uninstalled and reinstalled Norton (because of a screwed up Anytime Upgrade, not Norton's fault) several times without problems.

The above message paid for by Symantec corporation.

Actually no, I'm just not stupid enough to shoot down Norton because of its past issues, and blindly assume every product they'll ever release will bog down my computer or break it or whatever you people usually think.

You're not stupid? Then why are you calling people "anti-Norton clowns", pulling numbers out of your ass to justify your claims ("I bet 99% of you haven't even tried the 2007 line" ), and using racist language like "you people" and "people like you"? That seems pretty stupid to me.

HOLD YOUR HORSES!!!
Mate, listen up. The term "you people" and "people like you" in this context means only what the subject is about. You people [who diss norton]. You are the dumb one.
Get a life, and quit trying to be politically correct.
They are able to be uninstalled normally, if you read the article -
Norton Removal Tool should be used only if you have tried to uninstall the Norton program using Windows Add/Remove Programs and that did not work.
Radish™
Norton was good.
Released a few crap versions.
Now is good again.
They have an uphill battle to convince people they have got their act together again.
This tool should not be needed, as software should never not be able to be uninstalled easily.
Norton is just... ridiculous.
If you are going to put an application on a computer, at least make it easy to uninstall. I mean how hard can it be?
Some people like, live with, are forced to use, Norton. Other people prefer products that don't hook so deeply into Windows that you need a special tool to remove.
Oh and any of you who have tried uninstalling Norton from the Add/Remove programs, ever noticed how you have to agree to the EULA to uninstall?
Oh yes, Symantec AV might have a very good detection right, but the hassle isn't worth it when Kaspersky, Nod32, AVG and Avira (among others) are just as good WITHOUT the bloat.
Bloatware makers need to clean up their acts, because soon even the noobs will realize what's going on.
There is a reason that any software house creates tools. Norton just updated their extractor because of the problems being caused by their 2007 app. This has gotten way out of hand.
PS-If you purchased Norton 360, my condolences. While I use NIS, apparently 360 has become a real problem child for Symantec.
