I installed Norton AV onto a laptop but now need to remove it as the company require a different AV solution. I have a process named com.symantec.mes.systemextension which runs periodically and crashes because it cannot find a particular library. I would like to remove the application from /Library/SystemExtensions/*/com.symantec.mes.systemextension and stop whatever it is that is attempting to run this process.
I have downloaded and run the Symantec Uninstall tool but still have a lot of references to Symantec in my system.
The following is from a text search for Symantec.
