I've heard Norton antivirus might not work as it should when you download other antivirus/spyware programs. Is that true? I got Norton 360, and I haven't seen any errors yet, but I run other programs such as spybot and spyblaster as well. Should I uninstall all other antivirus programs than Norton 360 or can I run others as well?
Norton 360 is something my internet company has added, and I pay for it, so not sure if I wanna delete it or how easy it is to delete it

trust me, u do not want to run any other antivirus program with norton cuz it will make ur comp very very slow and some errors will happen and yes its better to uninstall all of the spyware and antivirus programs cuz norton works well alone

If I were you, I'd get rid of Norton and get a decent AV. If you do, you'll see the amount of viruses and spyware that Norton misses and others pick up.
Go for Nod32, Kaspersky or Zone Alarm Pro.
I always use SpyBot and SpyWare Doctor periodically, have Zone Alarm Pro running all the time.
Tuneup Utilites is also a good program for clearing out your PC and optimizing it's running.

ONE and ONLY ONE anti-virus program per computer.
You can have multiple anti-spyware/adware programs.
Two or more Anti-virus programs will really SLOW down a computer.
For anti-spyware it is recommend that you have only one doing a real time scan, but you can run the others as needed to get rid of spyware/adware.
