Question Uninstall IE after Mozilla Firefox Install?

Hi all,
Been hearing that Firefox is a good alternative browser to IE, but should I uninstall IE after installing Firefox? Same question for OE & Thunderbird Mail. Same goes for AVG & Nortion. I just got a new PC and would like to try the Mozilla products but don't want to screw up the new system. Specs below.

Emachines C3060
AMD Sempron 3000+ (2Ghz)
160GB HD
512mb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX
DVD +/-RW
CD-ROM
WinXP Home
IE6.0
OE6.0
Mozilla Firefox1.0
Norton AV
McAfee Security Center
Zone Alarm
Office 2000

IE + OE: No, they can co-exist with firefox and thunderbird. Anyway, you cannot uninstall IE or OE.

Norton: It can remain installed (although if it is 2004+ it could slow down your system), but realtime protection must be turned off it can conflict with AVG.

You listed having McAfee, if this has antivirus/firewall feature enabled they should be disabled since you have zonealarm/avg. Also you could uninstall McAfee, as well as Norton.
