really i have found nortons to be rather useless. it sucks back the resources and always seems to miss the most obvious virii..

Several times i have helped local people get rid of virii and they all had nortons , and not once did it ever find any of them , and some of them were well known obvious virii, seems rather silly..

I dont run any virus protection , never have.. theres uses for firewalls , but most virus detection is either overcumbersome or useless.

I like www.antivirus.com online free check , just do that once in awhile and you will be fine ( infact in each of the aforementioned infections , antivirus.com always found the virus ( although couldnt entirely clean it , but none usually can fully clean them , you usually have to get the last files manually.)
