Hey I Was Wondering If Anyone Could Help..
When I Got My PC About A Year Ago From My Brother, An Old Version Of Norton Was Installed On Here, But It's Expired.
Im Currently Using AVG But The Old Norton Still Runs.
When I Last Tried Logging Off Of It, It Completely Stopped My Internet Access So I Avoided Uninstalling It. It Often Slows Down My System, So I Wanted To Know If Anyone Knew What I Could Do To Get Rid, And How?

Thanks, Stu.

Can you currently access the internet on the system?

If so what is the Norton version? (for example norton 2007) because there is a specific tool to uninstall Norton Anti-virus which will need downloading...

Just as another comment, its strongly advised that you dont run two Anti-malware programs such as AVG and Norton Anti-virus as they can conflict.

Yep sounds like a much better system

You should also notice an improvement in performance as norton is known for 'clogging' up a system.
