The problem is that Norton has an awful history recently. It's not so much just the antivirus but installing the whole suite that causes problems. They keep adding things to get check boxes in reviews that may not be written as well as other things in the suite. One klunker can ruin the whole package if you don't have options to install the bits and pieces separately.
You can do better than Norton for free in the antivirus world.
