Ours was Symantec 10.something, and it was about 18 months ago. I'm sure things are better now. The bits we received to simultaneously remove Symantec and install Vipre just flat didn't work. I wound up running the Symantec uninstaller and then NoNAV (just to be safe) before pushing out Vipre. We did it in phases over several weeks and it really wasn't a big deal.
