Here are the steps to follow before installing a new version such as: 

  • Upgrading

If you're upgrading an existing Norton product to the latest version then, you don't have to uninstall Norton before installing the newest version. The complete installation process will remove the current version and installs the new version in its place. You must be upgrading to a similar product for Norton to install in place of your existing Norton software. For instance, if you currently have Norton 360 installed then, you must upgrade to the latest version of Norton 360.

  • New Version

Whenever you purchase or download a new version of Norton Antivirus that isn't similar to your current Norton product then, you must first uninstall the current product. And, when you are trying to install the new version of Norton, you'll receive a message stating the upgrade which isn't compatible. There's a conflict with the installation if you haven't uninstalled the existing version. If you don't have any of the non-Norton anti-virus programs or firewalls installed, the problem is the current version of Norton. And, once you uninstall the Norton Antivirus program, the newer version installs correctly.
  • Conflicting Software
Norton software is not theonly conflict with itself. Symantec recommends uninstalling any non-Symantec anti-virus and firewall programs before installing any of the Norton products. Even if you're upgrading to a similar Norton product then, the upgrade could be corrupted by a third party anti-virus program. And, for the pre-installed products, such as Windows Firewall, disable the program before installing the Norton Antivirus.

  • Removal Tool

In most of the cases, you can uninstall the Norton Antivirus through the Windows Control Panel. If you still receive any of the error messages when you are trying to install a new version of Norton then, download and run the Norton Removal Tool. Only the right version for the Norton product id downloaded, which you wish to uninstall. And, after running the tool and restarting your computer, you can install the Norton without any of struggle.
