I find it a bit awkward to request in my first posting here assistance with removing a former competitor's product, but I have been unable to find definitive instructions for manually removing Symantec Antivirus for Mac version 10.

Symantec has an uninstall application and instructions, but when the uninstaller is launched, it finds nothing to uninstall in the window that should show the files to be removed. Symantec Antivirus is definitely running, because it attempts to scan every volume that mounts and file that opens. The program was installed under Panther on an eMac about five years ago and is now on a new MacBook Pro after migration (itself a complex process involving making two clones).

My own Internet access is randomly malfunctioning at the moment, but when the problems are solved, I hope to be able to participate here as I did in that place whose name now escapes me.
