I need to remove Sym.Daemon.bundle from my computer.

When my iMac reboots, it tells me to "Send Sym.Daemon.bundle to trash manually. When I search to remove it, I cannot find it. What should I do?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

That is a component of Symantec/Norton anti-virus that should never have been installed in the first place.


Uninstall instructions here:

That gets rid of all of norten/Symantc, which is what needs to happen.


Had I dollar for every messed-up Mac due to unneeded anti-virus "protection" I've seen here over the last 20 years, I could afford Tim Cook's office!
