Please is there anyone out there that can recommend a decent free anti virus apart from AVG which will not let me access my email. Norton i have but it will not update so i fed up with that.

uninstall Nortons first as it may be causing some of the problems

Just make sure you only have one AV at a time so uninstall Norton or conflict problems will arise dont install Avast until all traces of Norton are gone or youll be wasting your time.

If you are going to install Avast (I prefer this antivirus over AVG). You need to uninstall both Norton and AVG first. Either of these may cause conflicts with another antivirus.

if you have problems removing nortons then use this tool

But just try one at a time as this is getting a bit confusing now.

P.S I prefer AVG

Browntoa this wasn't my question but I think I just managed to remove Norton from my computer, a HUGE thank you to you:beer: . The only trouble now is I can't decide whether to put it back in.

If AVG or Avast is working leave one of them as they are free and pretty darn good just make sure you get a Firewall also.
