    I have Microsoft security essetials installed on my computer (windows vista) and I want to uninstall Norton and Macaffe ( both out of date and not working) but they will not uninstall.

    Also windows defender will not turn on.
    Had a virus last week ....could this be still causing a problem
    Thanks for any info

    it could be causing a problem, you should also not have had multiple anti-virus programs installed/active simultaneously.

    go here: http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080710133834EN&ln=en_US

    then try uninstalling mcafee in safe mode: http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml

    download malware bytes(http://www.malwarebytes.org/) and install it, and run while you're still in safe mode.

    It gets worse.....
    I now see AVG is installed.
    I cannot uninstall this because Microsoft security essentials is installed.

    Any ideas on this please
    Thanks

    I installed the malware but it was later uninstalled as I had to do a systen restore. Im having alot of problems.
    There is an issue with add ons... can you explain them briefly.
    I keep getting the message that windows 8 and avg tool bar are not compatable.
    I tried the avg uninstall but it wont work
    I did uninstall norton.

    I have my L plates on ... but hopefully I will get there.
    Thanks
