Hi, I deleted my Symantec anti virus software ages ago..
apart from having some trouble getting Nortons anti virus to delete some things it flagged as threats..
the main reasons was I found they had the ability to bill me for an amazing American Dollar sum after I bought it retails from a major retailer shop in Australia (where i live) , and keep on billing my bank even when i deleted that credit card and got a new one with a different number. (nortons sells retail over the counter at half the cost that they sell directly for...)
anyway, i since bought a M1 iMac, that i never installed Norton on, but i got the M1 iMac to migrate my files and programs over, and it seems that it also coppied some Nortons extensions. did not to Migration assistant did that with out asking..
M1 iMac Sequoia 15.5.
anyway, i know how to normally delete such files, by clicking the padlock changing the permissions etc etc. even going through control panel permissions also. and then dropping on App Cleaner. but for some reason that wont worth with this item.
Anyone know how to delete such files...? (apart from putting an axe through the mac...)
Regards, Sandy (the old bugger getting frustrated and alzheimers)
below is screen shot after i had gone through the rig-ma-roll of permissions and dropped on App Cleaner, and that app seems to have reset it back, and one of the things that has permissions is called "wheel" have no clue where that name came from.
