If you put new AV software on while the old AV software is still there it will confuse the Windows Security Center and may mean you are not fully covered.
I used to run AVG but have now moived all my PC over to Avast which I feel is better.
Get Avast from here (you do have to register, which is free, and you then enter the code they send you)

Norton don't produce a "proper" free antivirus/internet security suite. There are some loopholes you can use to extend free trials or otherwise pinch Norton for free, but they are technically against the software's end user license agreement.
Norton is much better than it used to be, but it's no better than Avast! or Avira, and both of those have a properly free version as previously mentioned. Don't be duped into thinking that Free = Rubbish, sometimes when it comes to freeware software, you really can get a lot more than you pay for, and it's all above board and legal.
