I am considering the purchase of AVAST Internet Security 5.0 software for a new H.P. Pavilion Notebook PC, which has Norton Security software pre-installed and ready to activate. I would rather use the AVAST Antivirus/Antispyware software, and realize that the Norton Security AV/AS software might conflict and needs to be removed prior to installing another AV/AS software. However, is it safe for me to remove the bundled Norton Security pre-install first, and then access the AVAST website to download the AVAST Internet Security 5.0? Would this leave my PC vulnerable to worms and trojans without any protection, prior to downloading and installing the AVAST software? Or is it possible to purchase an initial protective DVD directly from AVAST instead of downloading their software from the internet?
Thank you!
