I receive this message: "A version on Norton AntiVirus or Symantec AntiVirus is slready installed on this machine. You must first remove it before Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9.0.1 can be installed."

I have removed any symantec programs from my computer, ran a free antivirus program to ensure a virus isn't causing this, and used symantec's rnav utility. I still can't install the new program. Any ideas?

Norton is GIGANTIC. I still have bits and
pieces on my machine. Do a system
search for Norton and Symantec just to
make sure that you got the whole thing
off.
