Answer 1

It would be foolish to uninstall any AV program and then go on the web unprotected.... You should keep your AV active and running until that time you are at the Univ and going to download their AV program of preference.... Once you have their AV program saved on your computer, then get off the internet and turn off the trial version of Norton (it is a hog and ineffective anyway)....Now install the downloaded school program and activate the school's program so it is running...... Now you can either use the Add/Remove feature of your Control panel to uninstall the Norton trash program or use the uninstaller that Symantec/Norton provides on their website and uninstall the trial version.....

This way you have never been left unprotected while connected to the Web. You also have not had 2 AV programs running on your computer at the same time as that causes great conflicts.... as long as the Norton is turned off it can't hurt the computer or interfere with the school's preferred AV program while that program is running.... this way you can do the uninstall at your convenience.... Norton/Symantec is notorious for putting itself all over your computer, that is why the uninstaller that they provide is the best way to do the uninstall.......

I would also follow this process up with a download of the free system cleaner program called c**p Cleaner (CCleaner) which is free and available at http://www.ccleaner.com for download. You can run it and it will find and remove even more of the left over junk from the Norton AV program........ And if you use it weekly or more often, your computer will always be clean and efficient and you will be a happy student, with no problems being created by your laptop....
