I don't recommend Norton to anyone:

i recommend AVG ANTIVIRUS (free) and Comodo Firewall (also free) - why pay when the free stuff is actually better.

Too many people use Norton, making it a target for hackers. as long as you are a "safe" browsing person things should be fine. (no pr0n, cautious of email attachments, no downloading stupid things, etc.). Norton is also a huge computer resource hog (slows down computer).

avg antispyware, spybot -search and destroy, lavasoft ad-aware 2007 (not vista compatible yet) are good spyware removers

use firefox for safer browsing (use mcafee site advisor for Firefox www.siteadvisor.com )

for you: keep Norton until the trial expires then uninstall it and install avg antivirus and comodo firewall (download.com and comodo.com respectively)

EDIT: comodo firewall is not vista compatible yet so... you could download the 90 day trial of windows live one care for the time being... until comodo firewall is vista ready.
