Currently on my XP I am running NORTON (Internet
Securities 2002). This is still working for me but now
my subscription has expired and I can't afford to pay for
anything new at this time. Can someone recommend a FREE
Anti-Virus Program that is compatible with my NORTON? I'v
tried VCatch, Avast!, AVG, etc. and all have either been
shotty or have problems with my NORTON. I just was a back-
up of some sort. And could someone also go thru the
correct steps I have to take in order to download
something like this safely. Thank You for any time and
effort applied to helping me resolve this issue at hand.

You probably had problems because you had two (2) different
antivirus programs installed at the same time. In order to use
a different antivirus program, you'll have to completely uninstall
your current Norton program before installing a different
antivirus program.
