Using add/remove is not enough to remove NAV

It's up to you to decide. You can try both, If you are satisfied in your PC speed on "High" and you are a bit paranoid  , like me,  so set it to "high". Personally I've started to use normal settings, as I saw that my PC boots up a few seconds faster than on "high" resident protection settings.

The most critical will be Standard Shield. Maybe you can let it into 'Normal' and the others, better than just set Normal or High, click Customize and make your own best settings.

     To get ALL of Norton OFF your computer, I would suggest
     you use your computer's "Search" feature, selecting
     "All files and folders" & using the search "term" "Norton"
     and "Symantec" and deleting everything possible it finds.
     Might want to consider using a SAFE registry cleaner to
     remove any "left-over" entries there !?

this is one of the reasons i hate norton it is a complete fight to get it off of your system but even then there will probobly be a little of the program  still on your system. And it is a complete resource hog.

Its alot of features. I like it.

I believe that link applies to NAV 2003 and earlier. The following link might be more applicable for someone trying to remove NAV 2005:

Sure. This is the first step. Are you sure all trash left behind from Symantec have gone away? 

Can you check the contents of these Windows Registry keys in your system?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers\\VDD
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers\\VDD
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers\\VDD
