AntiVirus Software not working on my new Vista Laptop? I have a new Acer Aspire 5100 Laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium that came with Norton Antivirus. But I don't like Norton because I download a lot of "risky" things, and it never seems to catch the virus like AVG does. So I uninstalled Norton hoping to just install AVG. But then after I installed it, it worked until I restarted my computer or exited after the initial loading of the software. I would get an error message like in these pics. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t205/Pyro_Uber/AVGISSUE.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t205/Pyro_Uber/AVGISSUE2.jpg I reinstalled it a few times but it still didn't work. I then tried different antivirus software but I got a similar error message. I am reasonably sure that I don't have a virus thats stopping this because I have scanned with AVG when it first loads up, but whenever I want it to load or any other antivirus I have to uninstall it and then install it again. I need Help.

Which antivirus software is the best? I'll expain what I mean by "best," because it's such a broad word. I'm building a new computer and I need antivirus software that comes with a firewall and doesn't hog system resources (hard disk space isn't a problem). I was thinking of getting Kaspersky, but I'm not sure. I was also considering Norton but I've heard that their antivirus software is slow and doesn't play nice with other antispyware/firewall programs. What do you think? Thanks.

Question about Antivirus software & my current Norton software? Warning: I'm a little slow on the tech-y side of things.. I'm really worried there's something creeping around on my computer and want to download Avast since I'm surfing the internet unprotected right now. My only concern is that my computer's already running an expired 90 day trial of "Norton Internet Security," and I read that it's bad to have two antivirus programs running at the same time. Do I need to just altogether delete Norton Internet Security and then download Avast + a spyware remover? If I DO need to delete Norton, how do I do that? There's no "uninstall" for it - do I just dump it in my recycling bin? Also, please let me know which FREE Antivirus software and Spyware removal programs are the best. I'm running on a Compaq Presario, XP Home edition.
