Version 5 of Norman Antivirus installs using WarpIn (I don't know about
previous versions). There are advantages to using WarpIn as an
installer. Basically, WarpIn keeps a database of everything installed by
it. Therefore, you can easily:

A. Upgrade to another version
B. Completely and fully deinstall the application from your system, if
you desire

Anyhow, that's the theory at least!
