You can only have one antivirus and one firewall program on your computer at one time. If you use more then one your computer's security could actually be degraded instead of increased. If you are using a 3rd party firewall (eg. zonealarm) make sure the windows firewall is set to off in the security center. AVG and Avast are 2 great free programs, and should work together w/ the firewall portion of Norton just fine... good luck...

Firstly; no. In my opinion and experience Norton is not a particularly good software solution for me and my computer use. This does not mean that this is the case for you. If Norton is detecting the viruses that you get from Limewire then it is doing it's job in keeping your computer secure. It is you who is not doing so. Secondly; there are a lot of sites where you can download music safely - but not if it is copyrighted. If you are after copyrighted music on the fly then understand three things: 1) What you are doing is illegal. 2) You will be targeted by malware, spyware and viruses. 3) It is entirely your own fault if your computer is ruined.

You should not have two anti-virus programs, running on your machine, at the same time. They will "fight" with each other, and slow your computer down. I have AVG on my computer, and have not had any problems. You will have to choose between norton and avg. I don't think that you need avast, you have plenty of coverage now. Just delete one of your anti-virus programs. You probably will keep norton, because that is a pay program. When that expires, then switch over to AVG. Good Luck..

I was advised by my boss on Monday that AVG and Norton Security do not work well together. So no this is not a good idea.

you may find that running two anti virus programmes may cause a conflict or slow the computer down ..... Norton normally has a problem working with another a/virus programme anyway ....

Give up using Windows, and install Linux on your computer. Linux is immune to all viruses, malware, spyware and adware.
Linux is a complete operating system that is either free or very cheap ($10-$30) and comes bundled with a huge variety of free software.
The Linux desktop is amazingly flexible and customizable, and anyone who is used to Windows will soon feel comfortable with it - and shocked by how dull their old Windows system looks by comparison! For example, in Linux you can use up to twenty (yes twenty) separate desktop work spaces - Windows only gives you one.
Go to www.distrowatch.com to find out how to get all the popular flavors of Linux...
...then do an image search for Linux screen grabs on Google.
BE COOL - GET LINUX
