Do I need a separate anti-virus program, i.e., Norton, with Firefox?
Do I need another security program, i.e., Norton, with Firefox? The person who installed Firefox for me (without consulting me) told me that I no longer needed another security program - I had Norton at the time. I just read something on your website which says that Firefox works well with other anti-virus software programs already installed in my computer. Should I renew Norton or install another anti-virus program to supplement Firefox?

The person who told you that you do not need another security program was wrong, Firefox is just a web browser.
There are free anti-virus programs available if you do not want to renew Norton. Some examples are:
- Microsoft Security Essentials - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
- Avast - http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download
- Avira - http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus
