Gunn.... how can i say this nicely... you been had.
The big guys got their name by being cutting edge like Avast & AVG a long time ago. Both avast and AVG offer versions where you can pay a little bit and get more security than you will probably know what to do with. But the free service they offer is still best around. Avast uses a live virus reporting feature and is updated daily if not more often.
In all honesty... start with a fresh install of windows, add in avast free version, and then run glary utilities to maximize your computer. Other than that just conduct your internet searches with some good sense... don't install anything that your computer asks you to install (toolbars, etc) unless you know its from a trusted source..
In other words, if your surfing around on adobe.com and they recommend you install an update... go ahead...
if on the other hand your surfing on hotmonkeylove.com and they advise that they need to install an update to your video player so you can join in the fun.... just pass...
as far as calling norton and getting your money back once you have installed the product... doubt it's gonna happen but give em a call and give it a good old college try... you never know.
'kay?
