Hello, I'm new here, and already have a question! Have replaced Norton w/Webroot. Can I just let Norton expire, or do I need to uninstall it? Seems I read that I should've uninstalled N before installing Webroot. Any tips? Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the Webroot forums!
Yes, you should remove Norton if you are not going to renew it (Webroot is compatible with Norton if you wish to run them both). If you are not renewing Norton then you should remove it as it will just sit there & still run but without providing protection & just give you warnings that it's expired.
You can uninstall Norton from the "Add/Remove Programs" area in your control panel, or you can use the Norton Removal Tool (which is recommended).
