Norton Anti Virus and Spy Sweeper do two different things. You need ANTI-VIRUS and ANTI-SpyWare. So KEEP both. Check the status of both and run full scans separately.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

Norton anti-virus protect your pc from virus, Spy Sweeper protects it from Spyware/Adware. They're 2 different products and yes you will need both.

Viruses and spywares are programs launched in the net by people to meet their self intrests. Spywares reside in your PC and spyes your actions. Virus is meant for affecting the normal performance of the PC. I can give a few links that offer free virus and spyware removers...! Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at

No they are not the same thing. One is for virus checking and the otehr checks for Adware/Spyware. Personally I'd dump Norton and get aVast and also Windows Defender.

They dont do the same thing. Norton does not detect spyware. It is not made to fight spyware. Yeah keep both, one fights viruses, the other fights spyware.
