I use SCSCleanWipe from Symantec to remove their corp products when the uninstaller fails. It's an automated batch file that can be directly edited to fit the clients situation. Here is a link to some edu website that will tell you a little more.

Thanks I will give this a try. Have you found that this removes everything or is there ANY Symantec leftovers?

It seemes to remove all reg entries but im not sure about the folders. I ran it in a VM a few minutes ago and it completely removed corp 10.

Does anyone know if this will work with Corp 11? The readme only mentions up to 10.

I have had success with removing 11 with this tool.

please also note that is will remove ALL symantec products so if run this on a server, be careful of backup exec and other symantec products.
