I stopped using Norton a long time ago. Too much got by it. May be better today, but I'm no longer interested in it.
My favorite anti-virus software used to be McAfee. Until someone wrote a virus that turned it off. This was before it required a password to turn it off. That was a long time ago. Don't know if they still do that.
"1. Don't use Internet Explorer as your web browser. Just don't. Most spyware/malware targets IE, and bounces if it you use something else."
I think that most viruses get tested on the major anti-virus and web browsers before they get released. The win because so few people update their software, whatever it may be. I had a virus onetime because I was using an old version of Java.
Live and learn.
