Thirded, and from many years of experience with Norton since IBM sold
their AV technology to Symmantec. I have had to recover many a machine
that has been crippled by Norton AV.

As for alternative choices I go for F-Secure myself, to the point of
being a reseller. That said I've not had any major issues with AVG which
I used to use prior to becoming a business user and having to evaluate
for a non-free package. I've not tried it recently though.
