It's not just about effectiveness, it's also about ease of use, administration, support, etc.

Norton is one of the worst pieces of Windows software there is.

EDIT: That link is broken, by the way.

It would be nice if their is data to quantify that. At least av-comparitives does a good job of quantifying effectiveness.

As a system administrator, I'll throw in another opinion for Norton being complete shit. Terrible performance, bloated services, nightmare administration, sometimes impossible to uninstall, etc, etc.

I'm not surfing from work. And I'm using Google DNS. It doesn't resolve.

EDIT: It didn't resolve. It does now.

There is a new 0-day Adobe Flash bug that is actively being exploited. It affects Windows, Mac, and Linux. Its believed to be state sponsored (by the Syrian Government).

As I've said before, US opened up pandora's box.
