Which securty software is best Nortons or McAffe I want the full suite really?

Answer 1

They're about the same. Even if you pay for their firewall and anti virus you still need anti spyware.
Layered protection is best, using different products by different companies.

You need all three anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware

http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm - The Spyware Warrior site identifies fake anti spyware programs.
http://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool
http://www.mailwasher.net/ -spam filter
Winpatrol is a handy utility that tracks cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder.

Remember to update and run all of you anti malware programs at least once a week.

Answer 2

I bought and installed McAffe and it locked up my computer. I had to remove it a day or two after I installed it and never went back.

I had been using Norton before but this past year I've only used AVG, SpyBot, AdaWare but when I added Verizon, they had me remove it and use theirs.....now I've get viruses and grayware.

Yesterday I installed Norton Security Suite 2006 and now my machine is creeping and crawling very slow and don't know what to do to speed it up.

I can click on start, go to programs, and it'll take a minute for programs to open up.....Help me.

P.S. In 2004 I used Norton Antivirus and never had a problem with viruses or spyware.

I think the Security Suite 2006 must be a resource hog.

Answer 3

I advise which you purchase the McAfee AntiVirus product. It has a lot greater helpful factors than the Norton AntiVirus product. The Norton interface has fewer strategies and is wrongly designed. together as the McAfee interface provides a lot greater strategies to regulate the application. you need to acquire the trial variations from the McAfee and Norton information superhighway website and evaluate their helpful factors in the previous procuring the application

Answer 4

I've had a boat load more problems with Norton thumbs down for them I've had Mcafee Internet Suite for 4 years now and only had one problem this last one is by far the best

Answer 6

Honestly i would'nt use either, they hog your resources and cost money. There some great alternatives for free. If i had to choose one though i'd pick norton

Answer 7

Depends on what OS and software you run currently. honestly, I would run some spyware programs at will and invest in a good firewall, instead.

If you're going to upgrade to or have Vista, I wouldn't install either one.

Answer 8

I have been using Norton for a while and would highly recommend it had no probs so far.

Answer 9

Both are good.
