Not that it causes troubles while uninstalled but it leaves components
behind that are difficult to remove manually since the uninstall procedure
is incomplete. You can check and/or ask for more info on
news://news.grc.com/grc.security.software. I've had a chat with someone
there about antivirus systems, including NAV. It's where I've been reported
about the difficult uninstalling.
