People will always continue to hate on Norton and go with free programs. I for one don't find the annual fee much of a burden on my wallet and would much rather have the peace of mind that Norton has provided me for the past decade, especially with Norton 2009 and 2010. While Norton was bloated in the past, it still protected me from malware threats successfully.

If you've only been relying on Norton, then you probably need to download an AV program with a proven track record for the best detection. I used McAfee for a long time & switched to Norton when it was offered free from my company... too bad neither were catching all the malware that was floating around out there, esp. on a .edu domain.
I got tired of this crap so did tracked down and read several third-party reviews that put things in black and white with unbiased tests. Norton & McAfee scored way down with Panda, Avast & Avira up at the top. The shootout is performed several times a year to keep up with changing engines & updates. IMO in this case free is far and above better than any software subscription... sorry Norton, you just don't measure up.

I can count off about 25 customers of mine who haven't been as lucky as you with Norton.
