Norton expired, should I delete?

[Guest]

The 90-trial of Norton anti-virus expired on my computer. I am currently
using AVG free edition, Spybot Search and Destroy, and SpywareBlaster in
Norton's place. Although the trial of Norton expired, it still says that it
is enabled, and I frequently get prompts to update my software and download
the lastest virus definitions, etc. My question is: Do I have enough
protection to delete Norton or, in its expired state, is it still providing
my computer with some security?

Two AV programs are one too many. Either renable Norton and delete AVG or
continue using AVG and delete Norton.

Deleting Norton can be quite difficult because their removal program (which
is what you get from Add/Remove in the control panel) does not necessarily
remove everything. This situation is evidently where you are.

On the Symantic web site, you will find the instructions for the procedures
to follow when Add/Remove fails. Follow those carefully and fully.
