Oh cool… I've always wanted to know how that works. Right? No.
Anti-virus software is like drugs: they'll preload a little quality free thing on your new computer and then remind you (every two hours) when your 60-day trial has expired AND YOUR COMPUTER IS AT RISK OH NOES KABOOM!!! Then, they'll gladly charge you for that feeling of safety when no software can protect against human stupidity, which is the root cause of most virus infections.
In other news, the world has moved past Norton and you should get a Mac.
