i got the same problem with norton 2008,  i  uninstalled norton 2008,  but it left some files  in the directory   

C\Documents and settings\USer Lo\Local Settings\Application data\Symantec    and after that  i  wasn,t able to open command.com  then  i  reinstalled windows again

If you have no other Symantec applications (very sneaky, I have winfax pro, which is a symantec product) then you could feasibly remove the Symantec Shared folder. But you have to be sure that you don't have any symantec applications.

I can't say if you have any symantec programs, only you can do that. If you are sure you haven't then yes it should be OK.

Short of stating the obvious, were there are more than one Symantec application installed, they might have common processes, so instead of installing it in multiple locations it is in a shared location.
