   although in most cases reinstalling a newer version of NAV will simply overwrite your existing application, it is highly recommended that you uninstall your current version to clear up any registry information and previous registration code from your previous version.

   Rather than install a 30 day trial version, then having to either buy the product afterwards, why don’t you use a really good and free anti virus?

   I used Norton for 6 years and since I’ve stopped using it, my computer is a lot faster as Norton is a well known resource hog and slows your system down.

   For good, free and recommended security programs, please go here

   I recommend AVG as an anti virus, although eTrust’s 12 month free trial is excellent (I’m using it and am extremely impressed).
   If you need other programs, go for Zone Alarm firewall, AVG anti spyware (formerly Ewido) and SpywareBlaster.

   If you click on the names in that list I gave you and it will take you to the official download site.

   Please ensure that you keep them all updated for full protection and check for any updates when you first download them.

   most likely you will have to go back to the website for norton and they will have the uninstall there. same with mcafee. there is no uninstall on the pc like most programs you have to dl it and run it to uninstall it. just one more step to try to get you to keep it.

   you must unistall old version ,then clean registery(by search in registery with name of norton and symantec) then search in your laptop to delete any file with 2name name of above;
   now you can download new version of norton
   but norton is not good!
   you can get kasperesky or nod32 those are simple and don’t use alot memory.

   I’ve heard snarly things about Norton. I bought and paid for Nod32 and I have no complaints. Someone once said if it’s free and cheap it probably is… cheap!

   Norton anti virus is a bad one… Almost 2 famous are Mcafee and Norton but they slow down your PC.

   In case you need t o uninstall it it’s comes with uninstaller, first disable the anti virus from scanning your PC.

   Then go to start menu, programs, directory of the Norton anti virus and then click uninstall…

   If you can’t then go to control panel / add/remove programs and then choose Norton anti virus or Norton Security center.

   If you cant find it to do uninstall. Use any uninstaller software third party software, like uninstaller 2006

   Recommend software for antivirus and security suite is the following:
   Kaspersky
   Bitdefender
   Clamwin (Free)
   And this one is good
   NOD32
   But you should not use only Antivirus you should use the full package of internet security for your pc to be secured and safe.
   I mean with security suite a package of software Containing :
   Anti-Virus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Antiphishing, Antispam and Parental Control
   but it’s OK if you use Multiple programs but you have to mention it all.
