PC-Cillin and Norton together

Comment:
My subscription to Norton will be expiring in 30 days. I have read on this forum that people are recommending pc-cillin over Norton as the latest version of norton is resources hungry. I want to give pc-cillin (internet security 2005)a try but I'm unable to install it because Norton is found on my computer.
Is there a way to install pc-cillin while norton is still installed on my computer?
I will not be running both AV at the same time, I just want to "test" pc-cillin before deciding if I should stay with Norton or switch to pc-cillin.
If no solution exist around this, I will have to give in and remove Norton. Thanks.

Thanks fordman for the quick reply. Will take a look at kaspersky. I have disabled norton auto-protect but norton is still found on my pc by pc-cillin.
