Removing Intuit QuickBooks from my new Dell 8400 643

Ah yes, and isn't that a double edged sword? Symantec sank many hooks deep into my system, which in and of itself wasn't the worst thing...but then they decided that it will no longer be possible to upgrade most (if not all) of their Norton-branded software without first uninstalling every last one of those hooks in a protracted serious of complicated and tedious procedures. (Symantec's knowledge base estimates it will take approximately 30 minutes to completely uninstall Norton Antivirus.)

And even then you may not be out of the woods. For example, the names of after I uninstalled NAV following Symantec's instructions. That was the final straw for me. After year's of being an ardent supporter and defender of Norton products I have banned them from my system. With the exception of Ghost, which doesn't sink any hooks, and even then, once True Image aquires some of the features I like in Ghost, Symantec is personna non grata.
