Norton system works

This is the worsted program. I was using it on one of the older machines and now wasted several hours After many problems with it I uninstalled it. I got a error message on boot up that it needed a sysmantec program to run. I went into the reg. and clean out the sysmantec references. I went to win.ini did the same ; still it is there. I think that this is now some sort of spy ware. It may be called sometime else but it is spyware under my definition Does anyone know under a win98 Os how to get rid of the boot up error message that reads did you unistall sysmantec program it is needed please see win.ini file or change in reg. ( why this is necessary shows how bad the program was written there is never any reason for this unistaller should have removed it)
