My concern is that Secunia is flagging outdated software (even though it
is not installed yet), on the computer so I thought it should be
deleted. I too, would prefer to leave the restore files alone even
though I never intend to use Norton. With Norton's uninstalled version
being flagged as a security risk, is it safe to leave it on the
computer? My thinking is that as long as I don't install it, it
shouldn't be a problem.

btw, if you are going to want to use that restore section, I'd not mess
with it. The only real reason to delete these files is if you need the HD
space.
I'm in the process of cleaning up unused programs from my computer, many
of which have been preloaded by the manufacturer but have never been
installed. Because they aren't installed, they don't show up in the
Add/Remove Software window. For instance, I don't want to have to
install Norton Antivirus in order to delete it. FYI, Norton shows up in
the D drive which is the protected restore files are. I'd rather not
allow it to get it embedded inside the computer that it already is. Is
there a way to delete programs which haven't been installed?
