I never heard of "Audit Mode". However, GG has 38,300 mentionings of it.

My machine is almost 5 years old - I did not know about the "audit mode"

Yes I did - symantec said to delete it - my question was - what harm is it to

No damage, but it may prevent some software from installing, as you are seeing.
