am adding a printer to laptop and it says to disable protection (norton). does this mean i have to uninstall, then reinstall after?

You shouldn't need to actually uninstall it, if you open the software up you should have the option to disable it (switch if off).

I had the same issue yesterday with my new PC, I couldn't find out where to switch off my anti virsu software, so I installed the drivers anyway, without any problems. I believe they advise you to switch off the anti-virus software because occasionally there can be a conflict between the softwares.

In any case, if you are using Norton you probably have a CD, so uninstalling and re-installing shouldn't be a massive problem.
