Help! I can't install PC Guard.

This is probably me being paranoiac but I wonder if anyone could kindly offer any suggestions?
The security suite which came with my new computor expires in a few days.
I am paying for PC Guard via my Virgin account but I don't believe it is installed on my new computor.
When I try to install I suspect installation is being prevented by the existing Norman security programme and that this should probably be uninstalled first.
I am worried however about the possibility of a virus attack during the brief period the computor is unprotected.
Any advice gratefully recieved.

First up ~ (If you can) Cancel PC GUARD as its absolutely awful (Though probably not AS bad as Norman!)
If you cant cancel then simply uninstall Norman, reboot and install the (awful) pcguard
I wouldnt worry about GETTING infected as you probably already are after using Norman
Then/or ~
Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW'). Malwarebytes is a scanner ONLY to check your computer for nasties that Norman has let through (If any)

UPDATE and FULL SCAN
Post the log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds
reboot
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log):idea:0
