Please answer question in subject. I just got a new laptop and want to replace the Norton it had when it arrived. I'm afraid to uninstall Norton, leaving the system unprotected, prior to installing Webroot.
Can I install Webroot first, then uninstall Norton ?
Exactly what do I need to do ? I'm not a techie.
How do I safely replace pre-installed Norton Antivirus (Win 8.1) with SecureAnywhere on new laptop?

Hi xd5y3wz
Welcome to the Community Forums.
If I may just precise here...that the uninstall tool that Sherry is referring to is NOT from Webroot but rather is an official removal tool that is available from Symnatec (Norton) themselves on their support website. We just have access to it in case a user is unable to get hold of it from there and they are dealing with a stubborn installation of NAV, NIS, etc.
Normally, an unintsll via the built in Add or Remove Program fucntion from Microsoft should suffice.
Hope that helps?
