The only problem I have with NRT is that it removes every Norton product. While it is perhaps more thorough than the individual program Add/Removes, it can remove programs one doesn't want it to remove.
I used it a few weeks ago (forget what version), and I wished it had given me a menu of Norton products it had found and then allowed me to choose which ones to remove.
Hi BrandonFL,
I do agree with you, that sometimes there are programs working
and we want keep it that way !!
In some cases there are no alternatives but to use the NRT, and we
have to live with that for the time being.

I'm affraid so
I think the best way to uninstall a Norton product is through Add/Remove programs (I know this from Readme.txt file included in Norton producs), as the program has it’s own specific uninstall procedure, and never use third party software. Norton Removal Tool is acceptable solution, if there is a problem that prevents normal uninstallation.
The reason why I advised the NRT tool was that the regular way always leaves some files. the NRT tool more thourough

Well, maybe not.
Recently, I've been using a little gem called the Revo Uninstaller. It first runs the standard Windows Add/Remove. After that, you have the option for it to search your computer for junk, e.g., folders, that the uninstall left behind. It also displays registry entries in bold, and you have the option to remove them.
In addition, you have other options, for example googling for further information.
I found this mentioned in PC World magazine.
Oh ... forgot to mention ... it's free.
Hi Vimulhan,
The Norton Removal Tool can do a better job of removing a product in situations where the installed product has become corrupt and therefore not completely removable. If you have multiple Norton products installed, it is better to use Add/Remove, because the Norton Removal tool removes a number of other Norton products, and you cannot specify that it only remove one.
I'd like to note that the Norton Removal Tool was created by Symantec; someone in the thread may have implied that it is a third-party tool. The programs that the Norton Removal Tool removes are:
Norton AntiSpam 2004, 2005 & 2006
Norton AntiVirus 2003 - 2008
Norton Ghost 10.0 and 12.0
Norton Internet Security 2003 - 2008 (this includes (including Norton Internet Security Pro and Norton Internet Security essentials)
Norton Password Manager
Norton Personal Firewall 2003 - 2006
Norton SystemWorks 2003 - 2008
Norton Confidential Online 2007 1.0 and 1.5.
Add-on Pack for Norton Internet Security and Norton 360
Norton 360 1.0, 1.2, 1.3 and 2.0
Norton Save and Restore 1.0 and 2.0
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hello.
I'm seeking an answer to a simple question. I'm updating to Norton 360 All-In-One Security from Norton Internet Security 2007
#1 Is Norton Removal Tool a better unistaller for norton internet security 2007 than the change/remove program in control panel?
1a) If so would the product key task given in this link not be nessecary if one has the product key for the N360?
Thank you dearly.

Hi Vimulhan,
My experience is that N360 v2 is the best uninstaller itself.
When doing nearly the same thing as you are going to do, N360 v2
cleaned up much better than anything else.
I have tried some of them, because I have a good backup program
that saves me from all these worries. Any problem that happends
is easy to cleanup by simply restore to the step 1 again.
1a. As long as you are sitting on the product key yourself, it is as safe your
own control. Norton account is a safe place as well.
You are in full control in both cases.
Kurt
