McAfee or Norton?
Posted 26 December 2011 - 11:30 AM
I am trying to figure out which one is better right now. I have both and I want to just switch to one because it would save money. So basically which one is better at protecting your computer from viruses? What anti-virus software you do use?
Is This A Good Question/Topic?

I sell Comodo to my customers for $50 a year.
It comes with a $500 warranty against future infections. It's a smaller footprint than McAfee or Norton, & I much more prefer the firewall over anything they offer as well.

I have been using McAfee for 4 years now, and have had no problems since installation. Before McAfee I used Norton and I was not so lucky with that.

I could never stand the interfaces of Norton or McAfee long enough to stick with them for a while, so I don't know which one's better. BitDefender is what I used for quite a while, but now I'm using Avast to save money.

Right now I go with nothing, the home PC's are in peaces on the floor next to me. I have used Norton and Mcafee and they both sucked (used them back in 1990 to 2000). I still caught viruses even with their protection.
I currently use Avast since none of my systems are a permanent fixture right now.
No2Pencil: That Comodo comes with A warranty right?

I can't stand Symantec or McAfee products.
I use to use Comodo also but my customers were finding it to involved so I switched over to selling Panda. You can get the whole suite for up to 3 computers for about $50.
Let me know if you want to check it out and I'll send you a link.

Has panda cleaned up their act or is their program still crap? The last time I futzed with Panda it couldn't find jack for virus or spyware.

Norton should be classified as a virus itself for how danged annoying it is if you manage to outlive your license. McAfee has earned my wrath by failing to detect uncountable amounts of viruses on my grandmothers computer on numerous occasions. AVG is installing crapware along with itself, and it used to be one of my gotos for a freeware.
My list of tops:
> Bit Defender
> Nod32
> Avast
Malware Bytes is another great one to look into.

1.7gb of source code?! No wonder that software is piss slow.
Releasing it could be the best thing to happen. I bet a lot of people fix that pos software.
