Yes you can.
Norton antivirus 2005 will recognise the antivirus part of Systemworks 2002
and uninstall it for you leaving the rest of system works intact.
However, personally I would use the change button in add/remove programs to
uninstall just the antivirus part of Systemworks 2002 and buy an antivirus
program that doesn't hog all your computers resources like AVG 7 Pro.
(not the free version) instead of Norton.

This is from my son, Gary. I am always talking to my sons about "my"
pctechtalk group and how much I have learned from you.
Can you answer his question on this? I know you would rather he would join
the group but he probably won't do that.

Subject: norton antivirus question
Do you suppose you'd have any connections in your user group who could tell
me if I can install Norton Antivirus 2005 without removing Systemworks 2002
from my computer? I'm running Windows 98 SE.
Background info: Symantec will no longer allow me update virus definitions
online without first buying and installing a more recent version of Norton
Antivirus or Norton Systemworks, etc. I had an awful time installing
Systemworks 2002. My previous version of Norton Antivirus didn't completely
uninstall and it made a heckuva mess. I don't want to have to spend another
day messing with the registry to undo the mess. I just want to be able to
continue using Norton Systemworks 2002 and add Norton antivirus 2005 to it.
(I know I can't upgrade to Norton Antivirus 2006 because it is not
compatible with Windows SE, and I know the manual says that if I want to
upgrade 2005, I have to remove Noroton antivirus versions prior to 2003.
However, I have downloaded and paid for the virus definition updates and
live updates each year, so would I have to remove Systemworks 2002 before
installing Antivirus 2005?)
