And to those in here boasting how only idiots use antivirus, just shut up before you sound any dumber. You're the same type of person who doesn't put a condom on and nine months later you've plagued the world with more incompetent wastes of space you call children, all the while suffering from an STD that you thought you'd never catch because you thought condoms, like antivirus, were for idiots. Anything can happen to anyone, thus protection should be used on all fronts. If you're dumb enough to not care, then you damn well deserve the repercussions.

@beandelphiki: Don't work for 'em, but I love their product. Don't get mad at me because you don't know how to properly use and maintain a computer. It works for me and I don't really give two shits what you think, but thanks for caring.

How long did it take to just install the anti-virus? And how about the scan?

I have never bought any form of anti-virus software, I scan my computer out of necessity with a free program a few times a month. I don't even remember the last time my computer was infected.

The problem is general public stupidity. Most people are more concerned about seeing whatever content they are trying to get to and visit ANY site and install ANY software the site asks for. You wouldn't take candy from a stranger in a dark alley at 3AM in the morning would you? Then why are you so dumb on the net?
If people use some discretion, they will avoid viruses and malware altogether. And if you need a virus scan, do some shopping! Norton hasn't been relevant since the late 90's (besides the elite corporate stuff they release).
I purchased Eset NOD32 for Vista64 and recommend that to anybody looking for a good virus scanner and defender.

Nothing but useless bloatware, that.

And even if they are cutting out the bloat, there's absolutely no reason to buy this when there are a myriad of other more effective, not to mention free, AV solutions out there.
