Laptop Problem
Need a little help please.
Right i have my laptop about a month ago it said my Norton anti virus had ran out and ive not done anything to renew it. I do have AVG so didnt think i would need to renew Norton. Would this be ok ?
Ever since the Norton ran out if i have it on for about 30 min or more i get loads of pop ups from Nortan saying its detected a virus and has delt with it or something along those lines and it seems to go a bit slower once they have poped up.
Anyone help as to what i need to do ?

Uninstall norton and get a free anti-virus. I recommend you look at Avast antivirus and AVG

Probably advertising, Norton is all hype.

Best way to find out is to install a new antivirus and see what that picks up
In other words, uninstall norton - NOW! and download a free one and install - NOW!

AVG is fine, but Avast antivirus? no, its like the most out of date program ever, the interface is based on a car stereo? lol..
