But before installing any antivirus software it is important to remove the previously installed software,Here are some uninstall programs that you can download directly from the website: Symantec (Norton) -www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp
AVAST- www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
Trend Micro-esupport.trendmicro.com
if they dont work then use
Application remover from www.appremover.com or
Revo uninstaller from www.revouninstaller.com
After unistalling reboot your system then use ccleaner to remove any leftovers.
Now you can proceed to install new anti virus software.
1. AVAST-Avast is light on system resources, and it's unobtrusive. For the most part it runs silently in the background. It's the only free antivirus with boot scan options. www.avast.com
2. Antivir-Anti-Vir has a clean and pleasant interface. It is easy on system resources. It's a free product, but aggressively promotes the paid version. For example, a pop-up is displayed after running updates (shown below). Compatible with Windows NT/2K/XP/Vista, 64-bit and Linux. www.free-av.com
3 AVG-AVG was among the first of the free antivirus products offered, and has long been a favorite of this site and others. However, their detection rates are consistently testing at the bottom of these free antivirus applications. They've also had a number of problems with their update servers recently. While AVG is still a good choice, it's at the bottom of our recommendations. Compatible with Windows 98/ME/NT/2K/XP/Vista, 64-bit and Linux
