You need to get a special tool from Norton's website to really get it off the machine.
For antivirus you can go with one of the free ones- Avast or AVG. I've heard really good things about NOD32 but you need to buy that. For a firewall you are pretty safe if you have a router with a NAT firewall between you and the internet. Turn on the windows firewall should be enough for most things. Zone alarm has the same bloat ware problems as Norton. If you want more comprehensive anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall eEye's Blink is free for a year to test out but it can be difficult to configure. I've been using that trying to figure out whether I could leave it running on my Dad's computer. I think it would be too annoying for him.
