uninstall their existing competitive anti-virus software before migrating to Norton AntiVirus 7.5 Corporate Edition. The
product was developed to ensure that the usual cost and inconvenience of manually removing software is minimal.
Ghost AutoInstall offers three key features: Replicator, to take ‘Snap shots’ of application installation and

excellent response and we have been approached by many corporations wanting to migrate from competitive anti-virus
products to ours. With Ghost Migration v6.5, our customers will now be able to migrate more efficiently, with respect to
both time and cost, to the more robust Norton AntiVirus 7.5,” say Richard Batchelar, Country Manager New Zealand.
