I wouldn't advise you to use Norton...I've seen it leave so many junk files behind when you try to uninstall it, and if you do decide to uninstall, ALL the imbedded files have to be removed or you won't be able to get online using any other AV of your choice. IMHO Norton is bloatware and could bog your PC down.
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
