Get your money back. NIS isn't very good anyway.
Use a "safe" browser (anything other than IE), install a fast firewall (eg. Sygate) and that's all you'll really need. There are far better anti-virus programs available too.
Alternatively, grab a free, "cracked" copy of NIS using a "peer-to-peer" client.

The problem, though, is in removing entirely ALL traces of this stuff from one's system...

Buy one of the better anti-virus programs out there like McAfee. These people know what they're doing and will help you if you have a problem. The Symantic people won't even bother to answer your email.
I tried copy and paste of the number they sent me.
My PC is not slow with Norton installed, boot time is fine. It doesn't crash often either.
Symantec have replied to my email asking I send them my account ID (with handy instructions for how to find) so maybe, just maybe, they'll come good and help me get it sorted.
I have considered Linux but I don't have a couple of months spare to get it all up and running (that's what I would need).

Did you try the website I gave you previously?
It gives you complete and simple instructions for that exact problem.

I asked for help after a simple program HACKED the Norton Internet Security program and they just ignored me.
Norton's Internet Security and Anti Virus programs are the WORST programs on the market! Yeah, a simple email, allowed by NIS, can hack their so-called "security".

I'm thinking along the same lines as your recent accusations of RHP spyware.
