Your problem is nothing to do with Antivirus software. The alerts you are recieving is from Windows XP Security.
Security Center checks to make sure you have:
• A software firewall.
• An up-to-date antivirus program.
• Automatic Updates set to download and install updates automatically
If the Security Center detects that your computer might benefit from enhanced security in one of the three essential areas listed above, it displays an alert in the notification area (to the right of the taskbar, above the clock).
To open Security Center
1. Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Security Center.
Turn "Virus Protection" and "Firewall" to OFF

Go to Control Panel and go to add/remove hardware. Then find Norton and click on the remove button. That should delete it.

Should be an option in your Norton to let it control those. Sounds like Windows is butting in on its work

Well either you turn them both on or you deal with the warnings. One way or the other.
