Nothing wrong with wanting these things. I just wouldn't go out and pay for norton to get them. there are better, and free alternatives out there.

as for updates changing your system, I'll admit there are a few changes made sometimes on account of MS wanting to make sure even uncaring/unknowing users don't leave obvious things open, but the updates also fix holes in the software itself, some of which are still exploitable even if you are generically protected.

It's a personal choice at the end of the day, but it should be an informed one.

Yes, but I prefer to do every update manually and select the ones I want, and to use a bunch of free stuff, i.e ZoneAlarm, Spybot, etc. Computers are getting too automated for me to sit around and watch as my computer starts walking around.
