I have used Norton to protect my PC against the dangers of cyberspace for about 4 or 5 years now. I usually pick up the software at a reduced price in September for about £30, when the following year's version has just been released onto the market.
Norton Internet Security has a whole of host of features to keep my machine safe whilst I surf the net. It warns me about virus threats, adware and spyware, and resolves any related issues that may arise. It also monitors the legitimacy of the websites I visit with a handy phishing filter and keeps hackers at bay with its own firewall.
The NIS user interface is very user-friendly and once set up virtually looks after itself. The package keeps up to date with the latest threats with its "live-update" facility, and automatically gives my system a full-scan to check if anything has slipped through the net. If any problems are highlighted, NIS deals with them accordingly.
When I have had technical difficulties in the past, Norton has always been able to connect me to a specialist who can resolve my problem with the least amount of fuss. This usually takes the form of a free telephone conversation or chat room meeting. For more specialist viral-related problems, Norton provides a fee-based virus removal service.

This software sounds good in theory, but in practice, as an IT engineer myself, I've found that it slows most people's PCs down to such a crawl that it often needs to be uninstalled and a less spec-hungry app used instead. But it sounds like you must be one of the lucky few whose PC seems to be able to tolerate it!
