It's listed as $55 a month here, but I think it's less because we have phone, high def/digital cable/tv, and internet through the cable.

eh, I have to say negatory. Norton Antivirus is good stuff, but the rest (except for Ghost) is your worst nightmare if you ever even think of trying to uninstall it.
I would get this stuff:
Kaspersky (Antivirus)
Spybot Search and Destroy (use the Immunize in it)
Adaware SE (run after Spybot)
Keep your OS up to date (Windows Update, etc)
And once you've done all of that, go to
http://www.pandasoftware.com and run a free scan, it will tell you if you have any spyware still lurking but unless you pay for it, it won't get rid of it. It will get rid of virii tho for free.

My download time was faster at home but my upload time at work is nearly as fast as the download. 9k or so on downloads at both home and office with upload of about 300 at home and over 6k at work.

I have to second what William said about the products to get. At my house, we downloaded and use Spybot Search and Destroy and the Adaware SE. I think they work great and they catch a bunch of stuff.
