Lumberjim,

They installed network drivers at such a low level that did not work and were ridiculously (i.e. Blue Screen of Death) unstable. Did I mention the uninstaller did not work?

A little bit of fishing with the Ultimate Boot CD took care of it for me on XP and Server 2003 by removing the driver references from the registry, but one of my admins had to reinstall a server due to their ineptitude. Thankfully it was not at my current place of work.

The problem was that even their uninstaller wouldn't remove the drivers, and that it would leave the system in an unstable state. For a server, that is unacceptable. I do not need to be removing low-level device references to uninstall an AV program, and 99.9% of users who get that type of error will rebuild the whole system due to that.

What a waste.
