      Chris, I've been using AVG free download edition for about 25 years and never had a problem. They occasionally invite me to give them money for extra features but I always skip that.

          You have to uninstall it Chris. In Windows, click the Start button, then The cog wheel for Settings. Then go to Apps, click on that. Then a list of all the apps and programs are installed on your computer; find Norton, click on it and you should see an option to uninstall.

            Chris google โ€˜how to uninstall Nortonโ€™
            You need to completely remove it. To do that you need to download a โ€˜removal toolโ€™ (another small program).
            Just deleting it will leave a lot of stuff behind messing up your pc. If unsure, ask a friend.

            Edited bit

            Link to 'How to uninstall Norton from Windows PC from Norton Website;-

            The Link to uninstall

            Hope this helps Chris and good luck.

                        HI Joe thanks my freind yes them TINY led's are a job to fit in the plane lets face it the kit is not made to take them so more difficult to fit them in but im gettin there only about another 6 or so to fit an then i can begin to work out where the tiny eletric plugs can be fitted in the fusalage as i nearly had this prob in the tomcat but its all about just dry fittin the fusalarge to see how much room inside when its closed up an YES PATIENCE is the name of the game im afraid but i love the challenges that come with doin this thanks Joe for havin a look see at the hornet thread
                        cheers sir

                            thanks Arnie yes im gettin there but due to the kit not bein made to have led's in it take a fair amount of time to make sure that im fitting them in the right place an at the right angle an then gettin the wires an the big resistor through into the fusalrge so i can fit an wire up all the positive an negative to their right mounts from the main feed plug an this is very time consumein but fun as i enjoy doin this eletrics
                            cheers
