Yes as long as you don't install Norton Antivirus when you install System Works.

Better will be installing avast before, booting, install NSW2004 (WITHOUT NAV)  :)

On XP Family, my licence for Norton 2004 has exipred. How can I uninstall Norton to let AVAST take full control. I cannot find any program or option to uninstall Symantec programs. ???? Can anyone help ?

In few words:

1) Remove NAV through Add/Remove programs from Control Panel. Boot.
2) Use Symantec removal tool (browse their site to get it, there are one for each antivirus series). Boot.
3) Install avast! Boot.
4) See what you get.

Another link worth looking at which is a program removal tool, which can remove the remnants of a number of different Norton Programs:
Removing your Norton program using SymNRT

Just to be sure run this utility after you have used the add remove programs and boot then install avast.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

1) Remove NAV through Add/Remove programs from Control Panel. Boot.
The problem : On XP Family, NAV is NOT registered in the Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel, even for Administrator.

2) Use Symantec removal tool (browse their site to get it, there are one for each antivirus series). Boot.
I will try this tool, thanks.

But, is it Norton SystemWorks? Inside of the Suite removal there is the option to uninstall only Norton Antivirus.
