Are the Norton & Mcafee softwares good for my notebook pc?

Answer 1

Norton and Mcafee take alot of juice out of a labtop and it is better for computers use something that doesn't use much power like AVG

Answer 2

Any one who tells you that Nortons is not a hugh resource hog still today they don't know what they are talking about. Plus if you ever want to remove Nortons you are left with over 375 fragments of Nortons, glued to your files, folders, registry and hidden all over your system. You will have a real nightmare trying find and remove the fragments. Nortons has a very long history of smart marketing skills, to get peope to purchase what I consider pure garbage.

Mcafee is not all that well rate.

Here is an excellent free antivirus. You can only use one or you wlll have conflict with your system.

Answer 3

I use Norton Internet Security on on laptop and it runs with no problems.
Norton doesn't use much memory now. It use to back in 2000-2003.
Ad Aware, Spybot and CCleaner are good to have.

Have only one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer.
Anti-adware/spyware are ok to have more of.

Answer 4

Norton antivirus removes all kinds of viruses and spywares. For me it's sure well worth the price..

Answer 5

i recommend avg free for anti-virus (also ad-aware, spybot and ccleaner)
