I have McAfee and Norton protection-can this cause a problem?

    I have both McAfee and Norton on my computer and was told that I should uninstall one of them to avoid problems. I am not sure if this is the correct action to take?

    Michael - Welcome to the Board :)

    There is no real potential problem in having both McAfee and Norton installed provided that only one program is active, i.e. running. Running both could well cause conflicts - this applies to antivirus and firewall.

    yep. if you was to have both of them active at the same time the system is likely to grind to a holt and basically crash.
