Internet Security

Anti-virus? I bought a computer last Christmas at Best Buy. I agreed to buy their "Security package" (which included Norton) for an extra charge. Today I got a pop-up on my screen which seemed to be for an up-date. What it really was - they (Norton) got me to uninstall their anti-virus. Now I'm searching for another anti- virus. I was told that I had a year's subscription when I bought the security package. But the anti-virus program lasted only a little more than two months. Has anyone else had this problem? What do I do next?
