Can we fight back on computer viruses?. Review on Norton AntiVirus

Just recently I have seen all over the news that viruses are taking over the internet. I don't get it. Why would someone want to send so many viruses through the internet? Judging by how many I have received over the last month, (23 in all) Someone must be trying to bring down the whole network for some sick reason. My Question is, ''Why''? What would be so great about doing such a thing. There is so much of our world involved with computers now a days, that it's a war being declared when these viruses are being secretly downloaded into our main computer drives through the Internet. There has got to be a way for us to fight back. I found that the best software that I use is Norton. Even the newest of viruses have been caught on sight and deleted through this Anti Virus program. It has become the ultimate supreme defence from any virus that tries to attack my mainframe. What happens when our network has become so infected with these viruses that it becomes too much to handel. Most of our economy invloves the net and if it goes down, we go down with it. There is so much that has changed for us now that we have computers running the whole operation of our country. Somehow I believe that somewhere in this whole mess, we need to draw the line. No, computers arent everything, but they are the first step to an endless boundry of science that is yet to be discoverd. Why distroy something that could be the answer to many discoveries? If you want to distroy those viruses forever, use Norton. You won't regret the results!
