Hi,
I would suggest that if you are going to move from Norton to AVG then you
should go to the symantec site and get their software removal tool. This
would completely remove all components of Norton and therefore you will
probably have no problems in the future.
To be safe, you could download the AVG software and Norton removal tool.
Then unplug your system from the internet (just to be safe). Then remove
Norton before installing AVG. Then once AVG is up and running plug your
internet connection back in and check for updates. Unplugging your system
might not be necessary if you are on dial up or you can do the exchange
relatively fast. The chances of you getting infected in that few minutes is
remote, but not impossible.

Subject: Norton removal and AVG instillation
Hi list,
It's AC. I know this subject isn't directly related to Jaws, but I don't
know who else to ask. I am currently running Norton 2005 on my system
using Windows XP Home SP2 with Jaws 7.1. My 1 year subscription is about
to run out in two weeks from today. I am asking if I should remove Norton
2005 from my system completely before I install AVG 7.5, or can I just
install AVG while my Norton 2005 exist on the system?
Please explain how I should remove Norton if necessary.
You can e-mail me off list at:
acarthon@xxxxxxxx
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
AC
