In regards to the original question, even with most versions of Norton Antivirus you have to pay for virus definition updates after a while. I think that's becoming pretty widespread at this point.

Any of the Newbie Distros.
Try Redhat. Ubuntu. Look around on a nix site and see what is listed as the most popular distro for noobs.
Don't do anything stupid like downloading Slackware and expect a great user experience though.
Infact, there are a couple of linux distros out there now I am told that are easier to install and use than Windows, just so long as you don't change much of anything or do any custom tweaking. It's kind of like having an old Ford. You could have any colour you wanted, so long as it's black.
Or, get a Mac. With OSX. It's the future of Nix. Just about everybody who knows what they are talking about agrees with that now. When the Mac moves to Intel chips, pretty soon every x86 nix program out there now will be able to run on OSX.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
