Your argument is easily open for interpretation. Do you have volcano insurance on your home? I'd say running Norton is like having your children positioned on the roof with sniper riffles while you throw molotov cocktails out the windows at your neighbors for being too loud. You'd be surprised what little virus protection you need when you don't aimlessly download the entire internet. The five computers in my house do just fine with a Spybot and AVG.

If you're paranoid about rootkits, the free version of Avast! has you covered.

Also ClamWin is worth looking into.
