Mcafee VS Norton

Norton, hands down.
 
Neither for me anymore... Norton is just too deeply integrated into your system files, it takes forever to remove. McAfee is too processor intensive. Both want to control all your systems security.

I now use AVG Free for virusses, and Outpost for firewall/spyware.
 
AVG all the way

I second that. Don't know anything about the technology, but I do know results when I see them. Plus Mcafee just uses the access to your compouter to try to sell you more stuff all the time.
 
They all suck except for avast.
Want the best www.eset.com NOD32 blows any and all anti-virus' outta the water.
Their customer service is phenomenal as well. Quick and helpful, unlike Norton where you have to wait.
McAffee especially is a big fucking joke now.
www.anandtech.com forums check 'em out. Get some opinions there.
NOD32 is incredible, but for free shit, Avast is decent.
 
Everything that has been mentioned here sucks!!!

Except for Kapersky...

I've been working professionally in IT for the last 15 years, and the big names suck the big kahuna. Norton is good at finding viruses, but tends to not be able to delete them. McAfee is VERY vulnerable to spyware. One time, a client had Mcafee installed and got an infection. I loaded their Mcafee screen (which is html based) and got porn IN THE MCAFEE WINDOW!!!!

Now for my recommendations... first... there is no one product that can get everything. But in all my years of Experience these two are the best I've used....

Anti-Virus - Nod32 By Eset http://www.eset.com
Spyware - CounterSpy by Sunbelt Software http://www.sunbelt-software.com

Both of them have free trials which are fully functional (30 days for Nod and 15 days for CounterSpy). Download them, update and do a scan and you would be surprised with what it finds!
 
I use Linux so I don't need an anti-virus or an anti-spyware program and it comes with a firewall.:p
 
Giving Avast a try now......

Used Mcafee for 3 years then Norton the next 6 yrs.
Been using Avast about 2 months now and like it.
Mcafee & Norton used more PC resources than Avast which seems to be fine.
In all that time my PC has never been disabled by any virus, all AV programs I've used caught any potential attacks.

Read that PC World article and all 4 AVs are rated highly with Kaspersky getting the top marks.

Anyone try this http://www.stop-sign.com/ It has worked great for me for over a year... 24hr phone tech support is awesome.

Seems pricey, can't see spending $99 for AV when you can get it for free.

Haven't spent a penny on AV in the last 9 yrs and can't see any reason for starting now......;)
 
Almost tried out AVG last yr, just to give AVG a try, but then decided against it and put in NAV 2002 again for another year. Been using NAV 2002 since 2001 with no problems.

Just a few months ago I decided to change from Norton to something else and following the installation instructions needed to uninstall Norton before installing the new software. Within mere minutes of the uninstall Norton released a previously quaranteened virus that wacked me big time. A real nasty one.
Norton? . . .NEVER AGAIN
