Re: Windows and Norton - CPU 99%

When we contact Symantec for support RE: an un-installation issue, we
were given a URL to a file sharing site along with a username and
password. The site contained NoNav along with other tools, including a
removal tool for SCS 3, SCScleanwipe. Both tools worked well for us --
if these tools could be made more widely available it would be very
useful to many.
