You are correct sir!
I'm not a big fan of Norton's products (too intrusive and embedded into your computer's operating system in my opinion).
I would HIGHLY recommend that anyone who doesn't already have some sort of virus protection get this FREE virus software.
Grisoft's AVG Virus protection (free)
I've been using it for a few years w/ only positive results.
