Software such as Norton and Mcafee are not crap. They will all do, fairly effectively, what they are supposed to do. Half of the problems that people get are caused by incorrect setup/configuration by the user installing. Can't really blame the supplier for user error.
I have used Norton for quite a few years and never have any problems. It has found and protected me from numerous intrusion attempts.
Yes there are cheaper and even free utilities out there, but people, remember you get what you pay for. After purchasing Norton, it costs me approx £15 per year for live updates. Mcafee will be a similar price. Not too much to pay to protect you from the criminal element out there.
