Personally I wished I could use McAfee, as Hotmail emails are scanned using McAfee (and therefore assuming that they chose McAfee cos it is better ).

But after everytime I checkout a newer version of McAfee, gets unsatisfies at server timeups in Virus Definitions updating and various system errors, and move back to Norton AntiVirus.
