I get gazillions of security threats. I allow tons of cookies for convenience and there are always tons of tracking cookies. I block ads with ad block plus and have good security otherwise, and though they are considered security threats, tracking cookies are virtually harmless.
Btw, I'd avoid Norton. It really sucks. Overpriced, too. I'm on A vast with malwarebytes and super anti spyware. Also have ghostery and a few others. I'm a chrome user, Firefox updates too much for me and is a ton slower.
If you're getting viruses and Trojans (win32) in scans, then you've got a security gap somewhere or you've picked up something nasty that your AV cannot remove. I once got the wicked mywebsearch adware and it replicated like a virus and only a total system restore saved my computer.
