RE: Removing Norton Antivirus 2006

I had a similar issue with system works 2003. I tried to install the cleaner
and the ghost fromt he main screen which never completed. Then I uninstalled
whatever was installed and I tried to install only the ghost. I just didn't
go tto far.

After doing a registry search and deleting all the referenced to Norton
stuff, I could install only the ghost.

The problem I believe is that Vista is not exactly backward compatible at
this time. I could however install Partition Magic, Ghost and some other
stuff which seem to work fine, inspite of the warnings.

Hope that helps somewhat.
