I am trying to unistall Norton antivirus due to using AVG now. When I go to
Add/Remove programs I have a message popping up which says "This operation
has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator." What should I do? I am the
administrator on this computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You cannot uninstall Nortons AV this way. You are lucky that something
stopped you. Many people find that trying to uninstall Norton this way
leaves them with a PC that either won't boot at all, or keeps resetting
itself.

If you go to the Norton website, there is a tool which should remove it -
but make sure you have a backup first.
