The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
I agree with the above. Norton ain't worth it, more of an annoyance than protection. And half the time it doesn't even protect you against the real threats.

Yup.
I recommend either AVG (free) or Nod32 / ESET Smart Security (not free)
You can go into the settings and schedule when norton scans. Use it until your subscription runs out to get your moneys worth, and then switch to something free that does a lot less.

Ditto! 7 years myself. People will call us crazy, but honestly, Noscript, smart browsing habits, only downloading files from trustworthy sources, and you're fine. I have not had a virus since the Napster days. How do I know? I bring my drive to work once every 2 months and run a scan with NOD32.

Totally Agreed. However, if you want to get some free un-intrusive antivirus software just to be safe, you can't go wrong with Microsoft Security Essentials
" Uninstall Norton. Install Microsoft Security Essentials. "
Couldn't have said it better myself...the only time I recommend installing any kind of antivirus bloatware such as Norton is when kids who have no idea about security are using the machine.
