Norton will hang on tooth and nail
If you made the mistake of installing a symantec product on your computer and are harassed by messages like this when you log into your computer (even AFTER uninstalling the software):
---------------------------------------------
NORTON UTILITIES
Norton Utilities has detected a new version of Mac OS
X. You may need to update your installed Norton
Utilities or Norton SystemWorks components.
Please check service.symantec.com/numosx/.
[ ] Hide alert until an OS update requires it.
---------------------------------------------
...then you probably need to delete this entire folder here:
/HD/System/Library/StartupItems/NUMCompatibilityCheck
and *immediately* shut down your computer. After a reboot you should no longer be harassed by the ghost of Norton.

I get that exact error message every time I update my OS. I searched my HD exactly as you described but there is no folder named NUMCompatibilityCheck. Any other ideas?
