For me, I'd stick with the kids job: more money, better holidays, a shorter commute. Dirty code is frustrating, and can be soul destroying after a while, but if you've got a reasonable amount of control over it you'll be able to make it your own after a while and get to know its quirks and flaws.
I suspect that working with Norton will turn out to be less of a benefit than you think. And, personally, I'd put doing socially valuable work about working for a company that makes a product I like.
And, yes, you will probably regret it - "we regret more that which we do not do than that which we do do" - but there will be regrets whichever way you turn. Life choices are always going to be like that.
