Check Symnatec's forums. Anyways, I never figured out why people hate Norton (Some call it as an anti-virus virus). It has decent protection, but I believe its the auto-remove and spams that pisses off users.

Edit: If its a new computer, with at least 4GB RAM then why not try Kaspersky, or G-Data. You can even stick to the free ones (Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast, AVG, Avira etc). Been using Avast since I bought my PC. No problems, well not yet.
