Reader Thom Gifford has lost faith in a utility and would like to bid it a not-so-fond adieu. He writes:

How the heck do you get rid of Norton AntiVirus? This thing crashes my MacBook regularly and makes it slow down worse than a telephone modem. Somebody tell me how to make it go away. Please.

In fairness to Norton AntiVirus, it could be something else that's causing the problem, but then again, maybe NAV is to blame. Regardless, here's how to remove it.

If you have Norton AntiVirus 11.0, open the Applications folder at the root level of your hard drive, locate the Symantec Solutions folder, and open it. Launch the Symantec Uninstaller application within, choose the option to remove the Norton AntiVirus application within that utility, and click Uninstall. Follow the directions of the uninstaller to remove NAV. Restart your Mac and NAV should be gone.

If you have version 10 of NAV, visit this Symantec support page, downlod the Symantec Uninstaller, run it, select NAV as the application to remove, and click Uninstall.

You have an earlier version? That could be your problem. Kenyon College provides a nice set of instructions and utilities for removing Norton AntiVirus 9 and 8.

G Data AntiVirus has its share of interface foibles. We've never known a product to provoke so many Vista UAC prompts - even anodyne actions such as opening the "options" window caused a system interrupt. And many windows (such as the virus scan details view) don't appear in the taskbar, which can be confusing.

It's fair to say that the greatest security threat to Mac users isn't a virus - it's complacency. While the platform is currently an infertile ground for virus authors, that may not always be the case, and Macs can still act as carriers of PC viruses.
