I really don't care for Norton, it always bogged my PC down.
What is your OS? If you are Windows 7, 8, (and maybe XP) you can download Microsoft Security Essentials from the Microsoft website. It's free, and it works seamlessly. I have had zero problems or conflicts with it and have been using it for about three years.
If you decide to go this route, be sure to fully remove Norton from your machine before adding Microsoft Security Essentials. First you have to remove Norton through the "add/remove" utility on your PC, which does remove most of it but leaves some bits behind that can conflict with other antivirus programs. (McAfee has the same issue, I think they do it on purpose to make you decide not to switch). Then you have do go to Norton and download their "removal tool," and running that will completely remove those last little pieces. Then install Security Essentials.
