……usually one antivirus program is enough to secure your computer……you dont need to add more programs because it will just eat up your bytes and memory…….I recommend to remain norton internet security and delete the others…….

alot of times installing one of these programs requires the removal of another companys software. having uncompatible software will jus cause conflicts where one or the other wont opereate properly.
may have to check each ones website or google and look for compatibility issues.

I have two anti-virus (ZoneAlarm Professional and Avast) and my computer works fine. Spybot isnt realy anti viruse its just a spyware detection tool. I suggest you to remove Norton because its simply bad software. It takes up way too much memory on your computer and slows it down.
There are free versions of Avast and Zonealarm that work well. Another good spyware tool is AdAware.
But it all depends on if your laptop can handle it. My laptop is a desktop replacement so it can handle just about anything. But if you dont have that much memory only use one virus protection, one firewall, and one spyware detector. There are a couple of programs that are all-on-ones.
http://www.download.com is a good website to look at.
