Currently downloading avast anti-virus, what do i do about Norton, still currently on my PC?

my norton expired a couple of days ago, and ive decided to go the avast route as ive heard numerous postive reports. what do i do about the norton still residing on my pc? is it actually doing anything at the moment, and if not how can i get rid of it (i no longer have disk) or would it be best to keep it on even it has expired

Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed.

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall Norton.

Thank You. Report It


remove it and never put it on. it is, from personal experiance, the worst of the big 3 (norton, zone alarm, macaffee (think thats how you spell it not sure). it uses up too much processing power, memory, its too slow, unreliable, i watched viruses go into my computer that norton didnt detect! get rid and never go back until they get their act together
Remove Norton.

The guy at the top has suggested to use the right tool. Download and use that.

Also, you should notice a significant speed-up in system startup and performance now Notron is gone.
