you have to use the Norton removal tool in addition to the add/remove program,

mse is a great av program,

It does not clean registry, use ccleaner instead.

Upside is, that free MSE is better than paid Norton, no downsides. ~

1. usually yes, control panel> add remove software/programs removes Norton

2. never put 2 AV on the same system it will cause a conflict, to the point of freeze your computer.

3. MSE and nNorton has their own pluses, and minuses. You shouldn't just relay on 1 AV. 1 , ernet Security kit, or 1 AV, 1 anti-spyware,1 antimalware program

4. no MSE doesn't clean registry, use Ccleaner which is free

4. yes, Norton very heavy for loading itself, look for #2

don't use 2 AV's on one system

Most anti-virus programs require a special removal to completely remove. Microsoft Security Essentials is not registry cleaner. The downside to Microsoft Security Essentials is it dose not provide firewall protection.

(1). Keep the virus removal tool from norton, uninstall norton it's self.

(2). MSE is better than norton paid and better then many more paid anti-viruses

(3). Yes

(4). No downside, MSE is better than AVG paid, Norton paid, Trend Micro paid, All free software, and better than more paid anti-viruses!

I use MSE as my primary antivirus. Along with malware bytes

yes cleans registry too

You will be okey

unistall norton
