Yes,you do . Having two anti-virus on the computer can cause conflicts. The same thing applies to having more then one firewall. Good luck!

Download AVG [save] (the link below) and disconnect from the Internet. Uninstall your anti virus and run AVG. Restart your computer (connect to the Internet and follow the instructions). It is FREE and recommended more the pay antivirus programs. Last count 9,800,000 people are using it. PLS contact me with any questions.

Renew the old one. If its Norton, get a new one. I have some test viruses in a file, and Norton didn't pick it up, while mcaffe and computer associates did. Computer associates is a anti virus program, not people.
