Symantec Uninstaller
Symantec Uninstaller is a tool designed to remove Symantec and Norton security products from macOS systems. It is typically used by users who no longer need their Symantec antivirus or security software and want to completely uninstall it from their Mac. The tool targets Symantec product remnants on the system, though Broadcom (which acquired Symantec) has also published RemoveSymantecMacFiles as an alternative removal utility for cases where the standard uninstaller encounters difficulties.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSymantec Uninstaller is a legacy utility from an era when Symantec actively maintained macOS software. Broadcom, which acquired Symantec's enterprise security business, has not shipped updates to this uninstaller in several years and has increasingly directed users toward their alternative RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility for problematic uninstallations. The app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 until Apple removes Rosetta from macOS 28 in September 2028, but Broadcom is unlikely to ship a native Apple Silicon build of a maintenance-only tool that is already being superseded. If you are trying to remove a Symantec or Norton product from your Mac, the current best practice is to use RemoveSymantecMacFiles instead — it is more reliable on modern macOS versions and is the tool Broadcom's support team officially recommends. You can download it from Broadcom's support site. If the Symantec Uninstaller itself is installed on your Mac and you no longer use Symantec products, you can simply delete it from the Applications folder.
