I would remove Norton whilst not connected to the internet.

Assuming you are using windows XP, you can turn on the Windows XP firewall before reconnecting.

Then you can safely download AVG and ZoneAlarm.

Download, but don't run, these files:
Norton Removal Tool:

Zone Alarm Free Set-Up Program:

AVG Anti-Virus Free Set-Up program:

AVG Anti-Spyware Free Set-Up program:

Disconnect from the internet and then run the programs in the order that they're listed above. (The Norton Removal Tool might require several restarts of your computer. The other programs might require you to briefly re-connect to the internet to complete the configuration).

I've included the AVG anti-spyware program in that list but you might wish to substitute Adaware SE Personal:
