Never ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER get Norton antivirus -- It is a horrible!!!! It will significantly slow down the computer in general and barely detects any actual threat. Having said that, it is a good idea to invest in a decent program(s) to prevent serious damage and/or intrusion, look around and do your research. I use a combination of Adwcleaner - Detects and removes adware and some other nasties (free progam type it on google and use the bleeding computer link), Malwarebytes - Detects and removes malware (non pro version free) and Trend Micro - for when I am searching the web and downloading stuff in general (paid).
