AVG and Norton antivirus

Hi,

My computer was running very slow so I scanned with Norton. It showed no infections. Then after someone's suggestions I scanned with AVG and it caught 92 infections....hence I prefer AVG over Norton.

My Norton is up for renewal and I'm thinking I'll put my money on AVG which for the same money covers two years so it's more econimical also.

My issue is how do I transition? I have both now. I didn't want any issues to come up while deleting Norton. Also my AVG is the free version that is on my computer.

Shouid I go ahead and buy the AVG before deleting Norton? So many questions. Sorry

Thanks Thanks Thanks for any suggestions.

Get rid of Norton using the uninstall function. Afterward, run the Norton removal tool from this link. Then, install a fresh copy of AVG anti-virus.
