First disable the old anti-virus by going to the tooltray icon and right click and choose the option to disable it.Then uninstall it.Then download the new anti-virus. If you have two anti-virus on your PC they will conflict and lock up your PC and then you’ll have big,big problems. Don’t listen to those who say to install the new then uninstall the old;uninstall the old,then install the new.
One last important note: if you don’t disable the old and it’s still active when you uninstall,it won’t be fully uninstalled and there will be files/folders left that will not allow you to install the new and then you’re stuck.

Hello,
Get a free and good antivirus program(AVG or Malwarebytes or CCleaner,etc.) to help you clean up the virus.
Here is some free options:

well, its not recommended to install an anti-virus program while there is an existing antivirus in your system. Registry conflistions might occur which may proove risky sometimes.So its always better to install an antivirus program after removing the old one.
1). Start windows in safemode
2)uninstall old ntivirus
3) restart into safemode again
4) install new antivirus
if your system already has a few viruses you might consider using an online antivirus program.
if your system is in a worst state than that then you need to remove the viruses by following a few steps.hmm.you can go through the tutorial i referred to before answering your query. Hope it helps u.The article was about pc maintainance but it has info regarding virus removal.

Forget AVG, forget Norton (YUK!!). Get yourself Kaspersky 2009 or Bitdefender, the two best antiviruses. You can torrent them or (better) buy them legit (search in google – you can get to the homepages). Uninstall your old antivirus and install Kaspersky / Bitdefender. They’re both highly configurable + they come with updates, so your protection should be tight.
OR: GET VISTA. OR UBUNTU.
