You are right, Norton does suck. Kaspersky or NOD32 are the best (recent tests at av-comparatives.org). If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):



1. AVG Free



a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)



b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses



Cons: low virus detection



2. Avast!



a. Real-time protection



b. It has an option to delete a virus once found



c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.



Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface



3. Avira AntiVir



a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG



b. It's cute umbrella icon



c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses



Cons: A very sluggish update
Google "clamwin" it is free and is upgraded very often.
Try some of these. This is a list I have compiled of what I feel are the best free -anti-virus downloads. Notice they all say home edition but are all free and fully usable versions. When I use them together on my system it does an excellent job in keeping it clean.
