SymUIAgent pop-up

I've seen questions about this on other forums but I don't think they apply to me. Some time ago, I switched from Norton to McAfee.  I thought I'd uninstalled all the Norton software but I would continue to get Norton messages saying that it was scanning files for viruses, etc. I wasn't too bothered by it because it didn't happen very often so I didn't run it down.

 

Now I just installed the Lion OS on my MacBook and I've started getting a pop-up message about some computer identified as "fd00:6587:52d7:1532::1" trying to access my system.  When I hit the "block" option, it asks for my password so that "SymUIAgent can make changes to my system".  The message is from Norton Firewall which I thought I'd uninstalled. (I've searched for every application on my computer with either Norton or Symantec in the file name and deleted it.)

 

I don't want SymUIAgent making any changes to my system and I want all Norton products off of it.  What can I do?

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.
