Default How come Norton Internet Security never finds any viruses on my pc. Yet Spyware

Doctor does? Spyware Doctor always finds loads of infections and threats and deals with them quickly. Should I get rid of Norton and just use Spyware?

they are designed to find different things, and scan to different levels. norton will see somethings as not a threat, like cookies etc but spyware doctor will reomve them because they can be a privacy issue

Because Norton is crap, full stop.
Even if the software were free, I still wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

Like some of the others have answered, Norton is absolute rubbish. There are much better antivirus programmes which you don't have to pay for, like AVG Free Edition 8.0, Avast and Antivir. If you're using Spyware Doctor you can download one of these antivirus programmes and run it quite safely alongside of it.
