I think both are Best.But Norton is better than Mcafee.Mcafee is faster than norton but norton tries to repair virus more than Mcafee.Norton uses more memory space of the computer. But if we use Norton 2003 and updates everyday means it will be fast and safe. Norton is best selling anti-virus. But Mcafee is also good.

i dont use either but i would have to choose mcafee as it is more smarter than norton. norton is like putting a choke chain on your internet and not letting you have any control in what happens, i used to have norton and found that it never listened to me when i wanted to allow a program to access the internet and the virus scanner found too many things to make it seem believable. its almost like if it sees a delete command in any program, it thinks its a virus. mcafee i dont know so much about but my school uses it and it doesnt get any viruses on it so it must be pretty good then

I think it is Mcafee because by using norton the system resources using totally and so i think the mcafee is better than norton.

AVG is really good. Since norton atleast takes most of the resources on the comp and its not possible to close it in the new edition.

Hi Abin here, I prefer McAfee because i have used both from that i relly got to know the differences. Norton is only a big one but it makes our system run very slowly And i think mcAfee recognizes viruses soon. Your's, Abindas.
