Why does Norton like sell so well but its so terrible, i don't understand like at places like best buy(and i know they suck anyway) BUT STILL doesn't make sense to me. Are consumers just ignorant?

To be honest it's because consumers are stupid or maybe because it doesn't slow anything down.

A lot of the time it's either pre-installed or is installed with something else.

It's because consumers aren't very technologically advanced and therefore don't understands what's better then what but choose a common, big brand name such as Norton.

Yeah. Norton comes with pc's nowadays. Norton 360 is 80 bucks while other anti-viruses better than it can sell for 50 or even lower

Well i personally use Nod32, I used to use Smart Security but the firewall gave me problems. But nod is so much better, lol even if they keep norton on their computers when they get a virus more money for me to fix the computer ha-ha.
EDIT: also i forgot to mention why do places like Cnet or review sites give Norton like 5 stars compared to eset or kaspersky that makes me mad...

Because they don't know any better and it's usually pre-installed, or bundled with restore software . I abhor Norton, it's too intrusive and doesn't work worth a damn.

Because if Cnet give a low rating for Norton, then they'll have a difficult time explaining to the consumer why that is so since 99.9% of them worship Norton like a saint or something.

It's because you get Norton free, norton probably pays bestbuy and electronic store's to put norton in because it increases the chance of the consumer buying norton after the 60day trial.
