That's a good point, but I have not recently had any problems when removing the Symantec stuff with the "standard" windows uninstall. I can't remember the last HP models we did, but we had no problems.
At one time this software caused massive registry bloat, and usually registry corruption, when removed. Often rendering a machine unusable, or preventing other software from running.
I have had no problems removing it on Windows 7. I don't like to get newbies involved with special tools if it can be avoided. Often causes more problems than it solves.
The OP does not seem to have had any problems.
One may run the tool after the software has been uninstalled by Windows; Here is the "original" from Symantec;
