I'm also thinking of using Norton Systems Works? Is that any good?

I have used both and I prefer Norton. McAfee has a tendency to clash with other programs and crash or freeze up. Norton is a great program for protection but it is big and it can slow your system down if you don't have enough memory and proccessing power. The free programs like avast and avg work great too. Just make sure that you get a program that can be updated often so you can stay protected.

I'd say Norton; too; ut the problem is that when it's scanning it tends to slow down ur pc.. the Mc Afee is also good but makes it less slow. Personally i use Kaspersky Internet Security and home comp Trend Micro and both of them are really really good

I would go with Norton Internet Security, but they are not very good.
try a free anti-virus, its called 'AVG Free Edition' search for through download.com

Mac OS X is the best. :-)
Norton's protection is really pretty poor. MacAfee's not great either. I have heard good things about AVG, however.
It's all kind of moot to me, because I use a REAL computer with actual security.

Use Zone Alarm. It works just as well if not better and it's free.
Try some of these:

They are both crap. They are bloatware, it's so full of crap you dont
need and really slows down your PC. Look at some alternatives
if you need help this is a place to start.
