Hi hari123 and welcome to PCHF!

Im glad your ridding your PC of Norton Norton is a resource hog and slows down your system, in my opinion some free antivirus is better than Norton.

First we will download the new one but won't install it just yet, i recommend AVG by Grisoft for free antivirus it is very easy to use, low on resources and good protection.

- Click this link to download it http://free.grisoft.com/softw/70free...ee_446a965.exe
- Remember where you saved it.

You will need to uninstall Norton before installing AVG. I will guide you through how to do this:

- Click Start
- Control Panel
- Add or Remove Programs
-
wait for the list to refresh.
- scroll down to Norton.
- Click Change/Remove or Remove
-
Follow the prompts to uninstall it.

Now we can install AVG:

- double-click the file downloaded above.
- Follow the prompts to install it.

Also do you have Antispyware and Firewall software installed, if not you will need this and i can recommend some to you. Also i recommend you print out a copy of PCHF Protect your PC.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask

Chris
