Opera Ok
Opera is also a good browser, been using it trouble free for over a year now. Norton's will kill your performance big time and you should have an image to fall back on if you do install it because it will have to be ripped out of the machine manually to completely uninstall it and that can be tricky.

100% JimI live on images
I am in a department that services over 400 work stations (and thats just "In House", theres another 800 employees that have "virtual offices", meaning they work on the road) and any time there is a major FU on an employees machine gets backed up (as much as possible) and I simply blow the standard Image back on the HDD and then restore all their backed up data once it is thoroughly scanned.
It does not require surfing for p0rn (although that is the #1 offender) to hose an operating system... there are millions of sites that will hose the IE browser in a heartbeat
Mozilla is not as popular so the punks that write the malware, viruses, ect: take aim at IE
They also write them to knock out the most popular antivirus program which just so happens to be Norton/Symantec
I know this because I have to keep track of 90 employees and their machines.

I too had a lot of problems with grenaded machines where I used to work. I had to deal with RAIDs a lot, and those sucked. I found a lot of programs to help curb the problems but employees always end up looking at **** at work.
