My MIL got a laptop from her sister. It's running incredibly slow so she asked me to look at it. The first thing that jumped out at me is when you go to add/remove programs Norton Internet SECURITY is listed and last used 3/13/07.
Then there's also Symantec Endpoint Protection last used 5/25/09.

Shouldn't she just have one of these and not both? Or does it matter?

Thanks!
AMandaDo you want to remove Nortan completely? Nortan itselt is MADE up of lots of programs - that's why it slows the PC so much.

If you want to uninstall it, see here: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039/

There are many free anti-virus programs out there which are far superior.No I can't remove it. My MIL's sister has a computer degree and swears MIL has to have Norton so she won't let me remove it.

I personally use AVG with no PROBLEMS.

I just wasn't sure if she should have Norton Internet Security installed AND Symantec Endpoint.
