SymNRT is a tool distributed by Symantec. It is designed to remove Norton software from your computer when the normal method (using Add/Remove programs) fails.
It also removes certain registry keys and other information that the regular uninstallation does not.

SymNRT removes these--and only these--Norton programs:
- Norton AntiVirus 2003/2004/2005/2006/2007

[edit] Warning
It is recommended you not use the tool unless regular uninstallation fails. Use SymNRT in conjunction with SYMMSICLEANUP.reg and MSIFIX.bat (found on SymNRT's page). Also, it is reported that SymNRT disables the Background Intelligent Transfer Service in Windows, therefore causing Windows Update to not function. This functionality can be restored by running "services.msc" and then reactiviating BIT.
