Whhat is the better option, buying Norton Internet Security latest Edition, or downloading a version (even one other than Nortons?

i think that you should buy a anti virus software such as BitDefender

the main security factor in WLAN is the use of encrypted connections, this is depending on your network setup and not on your AV/firewall. you should also make sure no change the default pass of the access point. so no need for getting a different AV/firewall just because of WLAN, keep using the one you're familiar with...

After hearing people using or wanting to use norton for a quite a while now, i'm beginning to think that we need a big flashing sign on the main page saying all of the bad av's and firewalls...

Don't use norton, it's #2 on the list of virii... windows being #1, of course.
