I haven't run any type of antivirus software on my custom built rig since the day I built it, and I've never had a single virus. I keep a backup on an external HD and do routine formats every 5-6 months. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you. No need for BS antivirus software.

Norton is worse than an actual virus...
