Norton is the king of the hill.
We see you are using OE, and T-bird.
What is your OS?
Is your Norton configured, updated, and compatible with your current OS? Norton updates frequently.

Technically speaking, this has the immediate sound of OS in-compatibility. Ensure your OS is completely updated, along with Norton.

From a home user stand point, your sequence should be as follows.
New OS install. OS update. Driver update. Peripherals update. Norton Install, Norton update.

Other's on the market. If you are employed, check with your employer for employee take home protection.
The most well known free one comes from Zone Labs, and is called Zone Alarm. You will want to research the plain 'Zone-Alarm' or their upgrade from the two major players, to their 'Pro' version. Don't hold me to their upgrade package, I have not used it.
There are others but, I have no personal experience with them.
