Hello friends, I was hoping you could help me with my new desktop I just got. It's a HP Pavillion Media Center m8530f PC. AMD X4 9550 Quad-Core. Vista Home Premium SP-1 64 bit. 5 gig RAM 750HD. It came with a 60 day freebie Norton Security. I have had very good results running my Laptop the last few years with Comodo Pro Firewall, Spysweeper, Avira, and Adaware. Could you please tell me if I need to keep the Norton running whilst I download and install the aforementioned security aps, or should I purge the beast immediately? Any other tips about stumbling blocks with this set-up would be greatly appreciated, as I have always been with you fine gentlemen the last four years! Thanks beyond measure fellows! Your always recommending friend and greatfull admirerer,

Keep Norton running while you do your downloads, one of which should be the Norton uninstall tool (Google for it, and download from the Symantec site). Uninstall Norton, and then install your new security. Do not have them both on your system together.
