I came across a system today that was heavily infected with the (anti) virus known as Symantec. We had unfortunately ran Symantec on our systems once upon a time and removed it for obvious reasons. Out of no where when I was right clicking, a menu came up saying Installing Symantec... and then gave me an error.
This particular computer is about to get thrown out the Window. At one point on this very same computer, I was unable to remove it. So I got the manual uninstall guide from Symantec, which told me the exact registry keys to delete to fully remove Symantec.
So I'm a little confused on why it's coming back up. I already spent my 2 hours of time manually removing it. What else (besides re-imaging it) can I do to get rid of Symantec?
