MessageI dumped Norton System Works -when Symantec stopped supporting the
version I had. I learned about the latter a few months after I renewed the
antivirus subscription. I switched to Windows Live One Care which covers three
computers per purchase. One Care's $50 a year is less than what I paid for
System Works on two computers. McAfee for free from my ISP was not worth the
hassle.

Hi,
There is a removal tool on the Symantec site to totally remove all components
of Norton. It has been recommended that this is used as to not conflict with
other anti-virus programs.
As it has been stated that Norton 2007 is too much of a graphical interface.
Therefore I have Norton 2006 and plan to renew it thru it's interface and see
if that helps.
As for other software you have a couple of options. There is nod32 which I
believe has a 20 day free trial and then you must purchase it.
The anti-virus program AVG has a free version as well as a paid version. You
could possibly install them and try for yourself to see what works best for you.
Personally I would download the new anti-virus program. Uninstall Norton.
Install the new program and give it a try. If you don't like it then go back to
Norton.

My edition of Norton is about to expire. I'm considering AVG or maybe
another anti-virus program. Is there anything special I need to do before
installing and/or trying out a different anti-virus program. Do I need a
special tool to remove all traces of Norton? Actually, can I install the new
program before uninstalling Norton? I would deactivate Norton, but I'm
wondering if it would be easier to keep Norton on my system in the event that I
don't like the new program and choose to return to Norton.
