Re: Antivirus software for Vista
I'd stay as far away from the consumer-level protection offered by NortonAV. It's often intrusive and heavy on resources. If you need AV (in a Win environment, who doesn't?) I recommend AVG Free, (for home users) which is lightweight, quick at updating itself (almost daily) and does a great job IMHO:

Also, Computer Associates has released a free version of it's AV product for Vista RC2 folks here. Note that this is a TRIAL subscription that expires in one year:
