When my Norton anti virus expires in a few days time I am thinking of installing AVG free version.?

Are there any problems that I should be aware of before I do.?

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from download.com I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

No there are none. First you should be able to uninstall Norton completely, after that you can install any antivirus without any trouble
AVG runs just fine. In fact the new release is even better, as it includes anti-spyware and anti-rootkit.



Two cautions:



(1) Be aware that Norton is VERY difficult to dredge off your system. In addition to uninstall, you have to dig out folders that are left (they occupy unneeded space) and other remnants...You may likely have to search online for utilities that do the whole job, or dig yourself, as I did, over the course of two weeks or so.
