How do I safely replace pre-installed Norton Antivirus (Win 8.1) with SecureAnywhere on new laptop?

Hello and Welcome to the Community Forum,
 
 
 
 Yes you can install Webroot now and then uninstall Norton,
 
Please follow the steps closely!
 

• Make sure you have a copy of your Keycode
• KEEP the computer online  to install to make sure it works correctly
• Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Subscription PC users click HERE)
• Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode
• Let it finish it's install scan
• Reboot

Please let us know how things are going and if you have trouble uninstalling Norton we have an uninstall tool. You should be able to uninstall Norton from the Control Pane/Programs/Uninstall
 
 
Best Regards,
 

Hi xd5y3wz
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
If I may just precise here...that the uninstall tool that Sherry is referring to is NOT from Webroot but rather is an official removal tool that is available from Symnatec (Norton) themselves on their support website.  We just have access to it in case a user is unable to get hold of it from there and they are dealing with a stubborn installation of NAV, NIS, etc.
 
Normally, an unintsll via the built in Add or Remove Program fucntion from Microsoft should suffice.
 
Hope that helps?
 
Regards
