Thanks for the links and info.

The Norton_Removal_Tool.exe tool just plain sucks and even fails to load on some systems. Not sure what they wrote the tool in but it too is a PITA like their AV installer.

I can code a removal tool I'm sure. Was just not sure how to handle those cert removals. Still need to try the posted method, but as you know I'm sure - many other fires come up to take the place of the last one.
