How do I Delete all Norton/Symantec Virus protection before I install AVG?

My Norton Virus Protection has expired. I heard that AVG is a great
(And Free) Anti-Virus software but also heard that having Norton AND
AVG on your PC at the same time is a big No No. Reading up on the
matter I read that there are softwares to get rid of all the Norton
files before adding AVG.

1. Is that true?
2. Where can I get these softwars?
3. Is there anything that Norton had that AVG lacks?

My PC ran perfectly for 2 years. After the new year 2007 and Norton
expired my PC began to slow right down and continues to do so. Every
time I do anything a small window pops up at the bottom right part of
my screen and says "Norton checking such and such a file." That never
used to happen before the Norton software expired.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a million.

Get Symantec's removal tool. You can try to uninstall it, but reports
indicate that uninstalling it doesn't always work.
3. Is there anything that Norton had that AVG lacks? Bloat

Thanks very much Clark. I think I have now totally removed the Norton
stuff. AVG seems to be working just fine now. Thanks again.
