Norton VS McAfee

[TheCrossMovement]

I'd just like some opinions on which antivirus program from which one of these two companies provides the BEST in PC security. I'm also surprised MS didn't include a "lite" version of one of these programs(or one of their own anti-viral creations) as an integrated part of Windows XP....as they did with their firewall. I suppose if you're internet connections&ports are firewalled, than there's no security or virus risks, eh?

my personal preference will be Mcafee...

somehow or rather, it gives me lesser headaches...
norton always has a lot of stuff....makes it cumbersome..

but recently i am using Innoculate....quite a nice AV pro.

Nortons is the winner hands down. For managed systems.
And in Innoculate is crappy. has some serious issues. doesn't pick up some serious viruses.

Not giving shit to anyone.
just my experience.

Norton has a great automatic update system, has been functioning reliably. It iseems no nonsense to me. I try new versions of McAfee from time to time, but return to Norton.

Old time fan of AVP, but no more since finding out how well NAV functions

[steverae]

I've always used Norton.

We found that Mcafee killed your machine if you didn't update the SuperDAT file regularly. We used to just update the DAT file but when the scan engine got so out of date, your hold machine would die, (blue screen of death).

Never had any problems with Norton AV since 2001.

Just my 2 pence worth.

I actually downloaded a virus directly from mcafee once LOL.

Its cumbersom, but Norton imo is best

I have used Norton for years and been very happy with. at work
we use corp 7.5 and at home I have Systemworks 2003 and itworks
great.....

[Bads]

I use NAV for a long time now

Just some problem with the installation from Systemworks so I try VirusScan but now I have uninstall NAV from Systemworks and Install another one copy of NAV independly

Now all is working fine anyway all Norton products are good

And I have uninstall VirusScan, just keep the firewall

[kernel]

i dont have installed any antivirus-software, firewall, anti-trojaner, etc.

i prefer drive-image to backup my system, thats all

i dont want to blow up my system with any neurotic-software

lol, but it is true

have a nice day

I am using NAV2003.
but i actually wanna stick with McAfee VirusScan as they have links with MicroSoft. (Hotmail emails are scanned using MVS)
I try new versions of McAfee time to time, hoping it will fit with me, but eventually I go back to NAV as soon as I get a software error in MVS.
I havent tried MVS7Pro still though.
