The supplied uninstall routines for McAfee and Norton are so deficient that both had to release special removal utilities. I don't
trust
developers who can't write a proper uninstall for their own product. Updates published by these two are often defective. Here are
just two recent examples:

I totally agree with Chris on this one. In the past 2-3 years I've noticed severe bloat in both norton and mcafee. I've seen
more problems with both of these adversely affecting other software. I've had to fix a lot of boxes that had problems caused
solely by mcafee (worse of the two IMHO) and norton software.
