Wow. That's nearly as awesome. I mean, it installed something when you uninstall, that's the problem. "We are sorry for the trouble. Do you want to uninstall the Norton tool bar? It was meant to keep you protected. -Arun cc:esd" could be taken both ways, however -- and that's my problem with tweets. Sometimes what we interpret as "clueless" is really someone just "making sure you're okay" using the given script after shooting off too quick with a support response. Not saying they read your tweet, as obviously they didn't respond appropriately about the uninstall, but the responses are consistent with the language on their site: http://safeweb.norton.com/lite (The title says "Is this website safe" and later in the page says, "It's our way of giving back to the online community.")

By comparison, emails are longer-form and less "instant" than tweets. They (Google) should have been able to get it as human as Apple did when I had unactivated iTunes gift cards. (The second time, that is. The first time took them awhile, so it's hit or miss in my experience. I've also learned to never expect real support from Microsoft Store or Adobe -- basically anyone with a "live chat" support service.)
