I accidentally installed Norton through GCC yesterday while trying to do other updates, and I've heard it can significantly slow down my PC. I used the Norton 360 Remover tool instead of the Norton Remove and Reinstall, as I read some discussions suggesting that the latter might add more unwanted downloads. I've also tried to clean up by removing any Norton-related folders in `C:Program Files`, `C:ProgramData`, and `AppData`.
Now, I'm wondering if there's anything else I should do for a complete uninstallation. Are there hidden files in other locations I should check? Also, is it safe to use the Norton Remove and Reinstall tool after using the 360 Remover, or should I avoid it?

First off, you might want to check locations like `C:UsersYourUsernameAppDataLocal` and `C:UsersYourUsernameAppDataRoaming` for any Norton remnants. Hidden files can sometimes be lurking there. And about the Norton Remove and Reinstall tool, it’s generally safe to use, but since you've already tried the 360 Remover, you might not need it. Just make sure you've cleaned up everything thoroughly.
Honestly, I’d suggest steering clear of GCC in the future. It tends to bring along more issues than it solves. For now, uninstall Norton through your system's apps and consider using a good cleanup tool. This should help in removing any leftovers without you manually needing to dig through folders.
