Norton is not an ass. It's not that good. Norton tries to do things it thinks are what should be done and gets it wrong too many times. So you ed up with stuff not working or false positives.
And one problem is that if you do not uninstall Norton properly then you may botch your system. You have to find out how to remove it before you do so your system will work after you uninstall Norton. It gets in an digs in rather well.
I use Comodo and while it pops up for thing it doesn't understand, once I tell it what it's asking about is ok, it doesn't bother me again.
Avoid Norton like you would Windows ME. Norton also is heavy on system resources. It take too much memory and can noticeably slow down the system.
As for AVG Free, it works well sort of. It works well except for the fact that when they went to version 8, they slowed it down too much to be useful. I noticed the system slow down when I went from version 7 to version 8.
