Mcafee vs Norton Antivirus

[pspman]

Which Anti-virus do you think is best to protect from computer threats.
Why?

[Zach]

Norton is cloggy. McAfee bricks your Windows install. Choose your poison.

[Matt]

Hehe, yeah I heard about the McAffee one.

I don't like either one. Basically for the reasons Zack said; they're gigantic and slow down your computer big time. When my computer was working, I used no antivirus; because I didn't need it. Obviously, if you want the safety net, antivirus would be great, but for sure, don't use McAfee or Norton. Use something smaller like AVG Free.

ya i hate norton its TOO big and makes a computer lag so if i were to chose another one it would be kaspersky very good award winning and trusted

[Matt]

Not a fan of Kaspersky either.

Norton was once the greatest player in the internet security market...since then it has only gone downhill. McAfee IMO is also a lousy anti-virus solution. Both are big and messy. Personally, I prefer BitDefender or Bullguard. None have dissapointed me yet. If you have to go free, I would go with AVG Free or Avast Home. I think Avast's new version is nice! :]

[Matt]

Mmm yeah I remember when Norton was so simple.

[pspman]

ya me too now its not good for already slow computers it just makes it worse dont believe the box for it made simple or whatever

[Mike]

Microsoft Security Essentials (Free) > All

[Zach]

I'd suspect so, since it's integrated with the operating system unlike most others.
