    Agreed! Bought a year's Norton AV, and three months later it expired! The criminals.

    Norton 2009 and SpySweeper are not happy bedfellows - your machine will appear to run in slow motion. All is fine once you remove either.

    (I know this from real experience, not just internet rumour)

    You mean you installed your Broadband with the disc provided?

    Don't have more than one brand of AV on a machine. I've dealt with a PC that had Norton and McAfee on it.

    Slowwww

    If you want to install Norton then uninstall McAfee first.

    BT Yahoo including its own Norton Virus (does it break existing McAfee+SpySweeper ?)

    I have BT Yahoo and also McAfee and Spysweeper on my machine. I've got this BT Yahoo alert now claiming that I could install their own version of Norton which works via their BT Yahoo browser but it comes with a warning stating that it may break existing Virus checkers.

    I don't want to install th BT Yahoo's own version of Norton Virus checker as it may disrupt McAfee + Spy Sweeper .. has anyone tried doing this and did it break any other virus checker on yours ?

    I have little faith.
