So do I un-install my old anti-virus first and then install a new anti-virus software?

Or does it matter?

Absolutely un-install the old antivirus.
Reboot pc, or shut down and do a cold boot. Doing a cold boot helps to 'drain' memory and start 'clean' (or so I've been told.)
Install NEW antivirus following instructions.
