[gina32]

i have accidently(dont ask) uninstalled my norton anti virus and ive only had it about 3 months does anyone know if i can get it back? many thanks or just looking at some answers from other people for virus questions i was wondering if its worth getting it back or it seesm avg is both free and very good, i found norton slowed my pc down a lot

The problem is you probably haven't completely unistalled Norton.
Removing Norton completely is one of the most pain-in-the-arse things in the whole of computerdom.
AVG is very good and doesn't cause slowing down problems that sometimes occur with Norton. If you want to go down that route, google for Norton removal and find the lengthy instructions to remove all of the little residual bits.
