Someone has asked me about a cheaper anti-virus alternative to replace the expiring Norton subscription.
My answer is to use the free anti-virus, and my favorite anti-virus are:
AVG, http://free.avg.com/download, and
MalWareBytes, http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Both are excellent security products, the AVG came with a suite of different defensive weapons, such as the (IE and Firefox) browser safe search plug-in. The safe search screen all search results, and warn you on those pages that may contain any potential harmful script.
All anti-virus software can not keep the virus, worms, and trojans completely away. Surf responsively, and make sure your Windows are up to date at all time, especially those security updates. Keep your Windows Security Center armed at all time, i.e. turn Control Panel -> Firewall, Automatic Updates, Virus Protection, all On.

Have you tried Avira or Avast before? Both are supposedly decent, and cause less of a performance hit:
