Which is better- McAfee or Norton?

Answer 1

my vote would be mcafee for sure

Answer 2

Norton. We had a service come out and install our high-speed internet, and they saw that we already had McAfee. They told us to switch to Norton, but it took a few hours to remove all traces of McAfee from the registry. So, if you get McAfee and ever have to uninstall it, good luck.

Answer 3

My vote would be neather.

I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)


The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)http://www.grisoft.com/doc/289/lng/us/tpl/tpl01

The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version

AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.

These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.

The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Answer 4

Hi, I think Norton is better.

but i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar, which can disable the virus, becasue the virus can only run on IE.

firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and spyware, adware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

download firefox for free:

Norton freaking roots itself into EVERYTHING, and takes hours to uninstall. As in, track down every single thing that norton has rooted itself into. My answer?
I use Kapersky.

Answer 7

I have McAfee and it's pretty good

Answer 8

Neither; the major brands are less secure than you would think, since virus creaters test their viruses against them.
