I get the same questions too and I love the expression on their faces when I tell them I don't need any AV software on my machine!   :D

Of course, you can just get around the year-long subscription limitation by uninstalling the Norton software and re-installing it periodically.  (I haven't done this specifically, but I've re-installed Windows enough times, and after re-installing Norton, it always starts over at 365 days worth of free updates)
