I recommend, using google. The internet isn't always going to be a "wholesome" place, but google has always been a solid search engine. There is a reason they are extremely successful, have their own internet browser, bought youtube, and are developing their own operating system. One could say the same thing about Bing considering it's owned by Microsoft, but it wasn't Bing that built Microsoft. It was the search engine that built Google into one of the most succesful (if not the most successful) internet venture. Kids are going to see porn. They're going to see things that parents wouldn't approve of, but even before the internet, kids found these things (whether they were looking or not).

Secondly. No Norton Anti-virus is not good. Norton is malware. When you're subscription ends, you'll begin to notice problems (viruses, malware, etc...) it's because Norton becomes one. I know this because not only have I dealt with the problem (my parents/grandparents computers) personally, but my two best friends own and run a computer repair shop. On a weekly basis (they don't complain) they get computers ravaged with malware and viruses caused by Norton. In most cases Malwarebytes, Hijack This, and a few other programs can take care of it, but other times reformatting is the only option.

So finally, whoever said get Malwarebytes and AVG, I'd recommend you listening to them. However, AVG only because if you are getting "saved" from viruses from Norton, you probably need an anti-virus. Otherwise, it's bulky and a bit of a resource hog. Another decent one recommend is MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials).

Blaze:
Norton is bad. Freeware such as AVG will protect you much more effectively and without you having to spend money.

Also... you are 12 and you are not offended by hentai.. what is the world coming to. >.>

And yes, pointed out by Frenchfry, there are MUCH worse things on the internet (if you want to know, go and ask Mr_Dark or Shashi, they will enlighten you. If that is the right word).

EDIT: AVG was mentioned in ^^^ that post. Didn't see =(
