Thanks, ME2. Looks like Symantec doesn't want to share that tool with "just
anybody":

"...The standard way to get CleanWipe is to raise a call with support.
All support engineers should know about it (if they search our internal KB
they will find it). I cannot see us posting CleanWipe to the public site
any time soon due its sheer effectiveness at removing our product. If
people need a copy, then please log a call (you can do this online using
mysupport.symantec.com) - if you haven't had a reply after 24 hours please
post your case reference here and one of us will follow up.
Please note that we would only recommend using CleanWipe as the final
solution for removal of our product, the proper uninstallation routines
should always be tried first.
