Hello slingshot,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Yes, you should remove Norton if you are not going to renew it.  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. Norton will just had drag to your system. So Webroot will protect completely IMO.
 
Please have a look at this post by TripleHelix explaining how Webroot protects, (message 4)

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).
 
Here is a list of common software removal tools in our Webroot Knowledge Base:
