GOZeus and Crytolocker threat.

I have received an urgent security notification from my ISP alerting me to two pieces of malware GOZeus and Crytolocker said to be one of the most dangerous attacks in internet history.
I am advised that they have automatically added Norman  Antivirus to my accounbt on an optional rolling contract.
This is supposed to give us protection from this malware during a critical period. I have never heard of this software and am loathe to download it. Will it conflict with AVG. Has anyone who has experience of this malware found their AVG protection adequate.

When more than 1 active antivirus is installed on your system this is always a possibility (http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=441).
