Will free antivirus run ok with norton still on computer ?
My norton internet security is coming up for renewal...can I run the firewall and use a free antivirus ?best antivirus software
sure, you just have to turn off the antivirus. I assume you have the security suite 05 or something. Just bring up norton and go to antivirus, turn off antivirus and youre good to go. A good free antivirus is Avast, you can get it at download.com, it works very well, just make sure you dont run both antivirus programs at the same time, they would probably have a problem with each other running.

AVG will work with Norton, BUT.. when you don't renew Norton, the virus database doesn't update. I was running last year's Norton with AVG (free). Neither said I had a virus, but I knew I had one from my pc acting goofy.
I found avast.com and downloaded their free antivirus. It found two viruses. I uninstalled Norton, and now run AVG and Avast. I just haven't remembered to uninstall AVG. I think I'll do that now!
Yes, it will, but be sure to get a good free antivirus. Most people use "Kaspersky Anti-virus".
uninstall norton and then reinstall from disk and thats to say only if you kept a back up copy with the code you should get another year only if it asks you to regester it failing that you must remove it completely before installing another anti-virus or it may conflict with each other that said if you use your comp for internet banking, pay for the new version do not trust any free anti-virus such as avast its got more holes in it than a pair of tights and as for zone alarm well hell you may as well install spyware straight from a disk
i was running norton on me puter but could tell there was something not right after asking around i took norton off and put avg on it found 3 virus that norton was not picking up i also us zone alarm as me fire wall thes both programmes are free and i been using them for 3 years now and wouldnt change them for norton if they were giving it away good luck hope this helps get your free downloads at download.com
you have to let go of norton craps, go to symantec.com, there's a norton removal tool there, but first install my personal choice of free anti-virus, Avast 4 Home Edition; go to avast.com, download the 4.7 home edition, don't forget to register for free so that you can avail of 14 months real time protection and free regular database and program updates.
install ZoneAlarm Firewall Free version 6.5.722 from download.com or freewarefiles.com, this will be your new firewall. it's compatible with Avast
good luck, cheers!
I use AVG Free http://free.grisoft.com and Zonealarm 6.0 (Free) from www.zonealarm.com . Not tried Zonealarm 6.5 (latest) as of yet.
Remember to keep AVG up to date and you will be fine.
I tried unistalling and then reinstalling- didnt work ( even when u uninstall a program some info is left)- had to format my machine then reinstall to get another years subscription, works every year and I still get free updates!!
