Well, a guy could Google for < uninstall Norton > then guy would be

directed to a website which provide a "Norton Removal Tool" suitable for

the guys requirements.

The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls all Norton 2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003

products and Norton 360 from your computer.

Then, the guy could/should do some more research... He may conclude that

AVG may not be the most (free) efficient AV apps available and find that

(free) AntiVir® is currently an unrivaled (free) AV application.

Avira AntiVir® PersonalEdition Classic - Free

http://www.free-av.com/antivirus/allinonen.html

You may wish to consider removing the 'AntiVir Nagscreen'

http://www.elitekiller.com/files/disable_antivir_nag.htm

But then again, its all to the guy

Good luck!

This is the correct link to the Removal Tool:

http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgen...005033108162039

In addition to Dave T's advice, I suggest you run the removal tool two or

three times, rebooting after each run. The tool is not able rid a computer

from all of Norton's software in just one run, in fact residue will probably

be left behind even when using it multiple times.

Above is the link for Norton Removal Tool; if using Norton.

Vista’s Firewall is very good!

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus

It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible.

Only have one (1) anti-virus installed; more than 1 can cause conflicts.

For Spyware removal, use the above link to “Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2â€Â

Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your

System with it.

For a non-scanning, but running in the background, Program to STOP Spyware

being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the

above link.

Yes, thanks for the correction Charlie. The link I gave him was for the

benefit of anyone else reading the post who possibly wanted to use it on

a different OS. It was one page up from your link, where you must

specify your OS before proceeding.
