Norton is trash, no matter how recent it is

I've heard incredibly good stuff about Microsoft's Security Essentials, it's meant to rival even the paid one's. Definitely the choice if you're going down the free route from what I've read on technology websites.

I use NOD32 and have done for over 3 years without a problem :)

MS:SE pretty much beats all the other free AVs and it's better than many of the paid ones. NOD32 is still best though.

Good Man!

You don't have to, if someone on your network gets for example Conficker and you're unpatched then it will spread to you because your relative is within the 'Trusted zone' so the Windows Firewall will let it in.

To be honest, anti-viruses are pointless (Except on-access scanners) because if you have a virus then you cannot trust that installation again and you should reinstall.

Agreed.
