I don't recommend them either, particularly not Norton as it places about a million, (only a very slight exaggeration), entries in your registry. That plus the fact it fails to detect a lot of 'designer' viruses simply because the authors reverse engineer the algorithm as part of the creation process.

IMO, you're better off going with a less popular AV - combined of course with a good firewall and an even better sandbox.
