I was wondering if any other lucky person was using all programs at once. Today I downloaded avast and would like to know if its best to un-install the other progs or just leave it as is.
Do already now that the operating system might get cranky.

It’s never recommend using more then one AV at a time. One might disable the other, interrupt it’s work and so on…

Norton is a resource hog. I would not recommend anyone use it for that reason as well as it does not work as well as AVG … and does not even compare to avast!
I moved from AVG to avast and like many others it found virus that had lived hapilly alongside AVG.
Many have reported the same sort of thing (finding existing virus infection) after the first boot scan in winXP after installation of avast. Norton’s NAV is a pig to get rid of and if avast finds another AntiVirus program installed it may refuse to install fully.
I don’t believe this is avast being restrictive, it is simply trying to ensure that the two programs don’t conflict, posibly leaving you more vulnerable.
Some AVs can be on the same system, but are not active, you can do a search on these forums for further information.
I would recommend that to get you up and running safely that you uninstall other AVs prior to installing avast.
I do not recommend Norton. It’s incompatible with avast (and AVG).
AVG free is incompatible with avast in Windows XP. AVG 7 is not incompatible at XP.
Suggestion: avast is better. To a backup (on-demand, not resident) scanner, use both on-line scanning and BitDefender Free, AntiVir Free, F-Prot DOS (free). 
so far so good. Enjoying avast. I have one email virus lerking the system. COmpleted the through sys check. Also liked the dos search after install.
Any help with the little bugger to kill??
I do not understand… Can you rephrase?
Are you infected? Why don’t you schedule a boot time scanning of avast?
how does one schedule the dos run again?
From the Start avast anti virus, you can click on the menu and select Schedule Boot-Time Scan.
You could also download RejZor’s avast! External Control program and select it from there, it also has lots of other useful external tools for avast.

norton for me, was that not hard to remove. (Version 2004). But yea, I decided to try Norton for a bit and my start up time turned from 10 seconds into Windows to 1 minute 
Is it ok to install nortons security? without the anti virus because Ive got the best hehe, avast… With the two work ok together? Since Ive paid for the subscription might as well use it.
cheers
Is it actually possible to install NIS without NAV?
Well, I tried once, a long time ago, and it worked…
I don’t know about actual integration between NIS and NAV… :-\
