Hi Walter,
Happy New Year to you as well.

When you say you uninstalled Norton System Works did you also use the 
Norton Removal utility
or just the Add/Remove Panel?
Norton,as well as many other AV programs or security suites,leave a lot 
of residue.

For Systemworks 2002 use:
Norton SystemWorks cleanup utility (SYMClean)

For Norton 2003 and later:
Norton Removal Tool

In addition use a good registry cleaner to rid the PC from everything 
Norton.

My advice:Uninstall AVG and make sure everything is gone.
Then run the Norton tool and make sure everything is gone.
Then reinstall AVG free.

You can also try a system restore to before you uninstalled Norton
 and then proceed as above using the above procedure,
finishing off with the install of AVG.
BTW,set a restore point before you do that install .

Good luck.

Peter.

> Happy New Year to everyone.  I hope someone can help me on this.  Just recently I uninstalled my Norton Systemworks 2002 and replaced it with AVG Free Edition.  The installation process went smoothly as well as updating the software.  After I finished, I proceeded to shutdown my computer, but instead it would only restart.  I have to shutdown my computer manually now.  I don't want to go back to Norton, because it slows down my computer considerably.
