Not to worry. The uninstall is superb.
CCleaner found only 3 registry entries after uninstall, that were empty.
Try uninstalling Office and see what's still left in the registry.
The cockpit thing you mention, is a matter of taste.
Lots of geeks like those things.
And you don't have to click and see it.
When not invoked by the user, Norton 2010 does actually just sits there,
waiting for the moment you take a leak or go make some sandwiches,
in which case it starts doing it's job.
When you get back and move the mouse it stops immediately.
In all the months I've used it, it never intruded even once with stupid questions most AV's/FW's ask.
That is after you set it to silent of course, or maybe you missed that option?
I really don't see how anyone can objectively call Norton intrusive,
or make comments that say basically the same.
It's complete nonsense.
So far the only valid con I've seen is that Symantec takes too long to mark some malicious sites as bad.
The rest is mostly down talk from people who haven't even tried the 2010 version.
(Not implying you)

I was going to type something like this right before I read this post. Been anti-Norton for a longtime - I don't mean a couple years, I mean a couple decades. Got a 1-year free subscription to their 2010 suite at the New Efficiency thing, thought I'd at least try it. Have not used 2010 for months, but I must say that so far it has far surpassed my expectations. Trust me, it's not the same crap they've been putting out.
