I need to uninstall Norton to install another AV. Do I uninstall it from my Control Panel first, or do I just go straight to the Norton Removal Tool? And where is the best site to download the Removal Tool? Also, how will I be protected while I am uninstalling Norton and before I install the new AV, since I have to remain online for this? Sorry for so many questions, but I want to make sure and do this right, so I won't have problems in the future. This site has always been a great help to me. Thanks guys!

Control panel first and then run the removal tool after rebooting. There is no need to remain on line whilst uninstalling - it can all be done offline

Thanks Essexboy, but how do I download the Removal Tool without it running until I want it to? And can I run it while offline?

Download and save it to your desktop

Also download and save the new AV to your desktop as well

So if you do this

1. Download Norton removal tool to the desktop
2. Download new AV setup to your desktop
3. Disconnect from the net
4. Remove Norton via control panel and reboot
5. Run the removal tool reboot
6. Install new AV

Job done

That sounds easy. Just one more question...do you have a favorite site to download the Removal Tool?

Norton removal tool

Also remove PCTools firewall if you are getting AIS

Thanks a bunch! My Norton is expiring right away, so now I can go ahead and cover my system.
