The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls all Norton 2009/2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products from your computer.
Before you continue, make sure that you have the installation CDs or downloaded installation files for any Norton products that you want to reinstall.
Also, if you use ACT! or WinFAX, back up those databases and uninstall those products.

It's quite likely if you did as recommended in another thread that you still have the Norton Removal Tool. Did it leave those folders behind, or didn't you use it?
If the former, it should be safe to delete them.
As for the bands, Salmonella Dub, The Tutts, or Shapeshifter. Although Fat Freddy's Drop puts out some very good stuff.

Yes you should delete it, because having 2 or more anti virus on your computer can crash your pc

i used the uninstallation tool but there are still some files left over. They are in a folder called symantec shared and you click on it and it says security center and it has a bunch of files called dmp files which i have no idea what they are.

SymWSC-2005.1.2.20-2005-01-05-22-03-39-593.dmp is an example.

Still no full path, but I'd say that one, being a dmp file, is fine to delete.

I'm sorry, Eminem, (never thought I'd say that, BTW) but without a path I have no way of knowing.
