After data "Migration" to new MBP, deleted Norton AV rears ugly head

Hello

I recently received my new MBP 15" and the first thing I did was transfer files & data via Firewire from my older iBook G4 using Migration Assistant. I had deleted Norton AV from my iBook after numerous, annoying reminders to upgrade, etc.

Now, whenever I mount a disk image/ download new apps in my new MacBook Pro, a Norton AV warning window pops up. I have searched through my System Folder and almost everywhere else I can think of but I cannot seem to find where it is coming from. I am not a pro-user but I have been using Macs since my high school days (mid-80s). I thought that I had deleted all Norton files/ folders/ libraries but maybe I missed something?

Can anyone help me? I did download OnyX for 10.5 and did a clean-up though I am not sure it took care of the problem. Any settings in OnyX that I can tweak to deal with this? BTW, is any form of AV ( not Norton - not a fan) Application recommended? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your consideration. I am really finding these forums helpful.

Best,
Gavin

Part of the problem is that Spotlight and Find don't look into the System or Library folders at the Root level. And that is where Symantec installs its nastiness. Luckily, Symantec has provided a Removal Tool:

Thanks very much!

I think that has done the trick. I am learning everytime I come here and it's empowering.

Thanks again.
