Paid or free?
Quite a few threads right here in this forum with recommendations....
Best of paid....Kaspersky, and NOD32
Best freebie..AntiVir.

My suggestion for best Free is -
Avast
Paid would be nod32
But since you said you have norton..you may want to find the norton removal tool to get rid of everything of it.. the uninstall just doesn't cut it.

Antivir free is the best, IMO.
