What is the difference between Norton Anti-Virus and Norton 2000?

To Whom It May Concern:

I have on my desktop 2 things from Norton. I have Norton Anti-Virus and Norton 2000.

Now should I delete them both or keep one. If so which one?

If I have to get rid of Norton Anti Virus which one should I get?
