When I bought my computer at Best Buy, they installed Norton. Now everytime I turn my computer on, it says I need to update and puts me thru heck trying to log on until I push Cancel. It says my protection has expired. I just want it off there and need to know how to get free virus protection. How can I get that off my computer?

I would like to purchase a virus protection for my computer. what is the best one out there? i know there’s free virus protection online that i can download but i think you can get popups and things like that from it.

I have Windows XP, just wondering about free virus protection. Also, is it as good as the ones you have to pay for?
