Neither!  So many people here seem to like Symantec and McAfee and the deplorable Norton Internet Security which will slow your system down worse than all the viruses and spyware in the world would.\n\nFirst, Anti-Virus, AVG Free Edition (http://free.girsoft.com/ ), regardless of the fact that it is free it is one of THE BEST anti-virus applications on the market, period.  They also have enterprise edition software too that corporations have to pay for which is why they can give away the Home Edition.\n\nFor a Firewall (always have your PC behind a router) but for a software solution I like the Kerio Personal Firewall, http://www.snapfiles.com/get/keriofirewall.html\n\nFor spyware protection get all of the following:\n\nAdaware SE Personal, http://www.lavasoft.com/\nMS Antispyware Beta, http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nSpybot S&D, http://www.safer-networking.com/\nSpywareBlaster, http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/\n\nNow with all those applications your computer is probably protected better than any running Symantec or McAfee and you didn't pay a cent.

Try using AVG Anti-Virus, it is free and it is one of the best ones out there. Uninstall mcafee first though. Here is the link to download it. http://free.grisoft.com If you have anymore questions feel free to email me.

Many people think Symantec Norton AntiVirus is best but I hate it (I have many problems with that software).\n\nI'm using BitDefender 9 and it's good.\n\nHave you ever heard : "True Prevent".

Personally, I like Norton System Works, but that is just me from past experiences. McAfee is wonderful but it made my new computer go extremely slow. I Had everything with McAfee, and it took forever to boot up and Norton just runs in the background and didn't make a whole lot of difference when my computer started up but did the same protection as McAfee. So I would say go with Norton System Works, it's about 60.00 but it's worth it, in my opinion. Hoep my advice helped! =) ~R

Hi there,\n\nInstead of all these "Mine is better than yours" answers that go on around here, I'll instead answer with the facts.\n\nYes, Norton IS a good PC security program.  It has been known to slow down people's PCs as it can be resource intensive, but if it's having no ill-effect on yours then I wouldn't worry.\n\nAlso, please ignore people who recommend AVG and Avast. Looking at current protection ratings, AVG scores a lowly 90% protection against all known viruses, whilst Avast comes in at 92%. This means they are letting through one in every ten viruses - pretty shocking. Norton on the other hand is protecting against something like 98.3% of all known viruses - a much better score.\n\nIf you would be interested in other Security products that are better than Norton, you should try either Prevx1, Kaspersky or F-Secure who all score over a 99% protection rating.

For any computer desktop or laptop , I recommend the following combination of security stuffs:\n\n1. Good antivirus (best free one is AVG antivirus). if you already have something like norton,symantec thats fine. I don't recommend Mcafee.\n2. Firewall(I recommend zonealram free version. other good one is kerio or outpost). Just one is fine.\n3. Good spyware remover. I recommend install two of them such as adaware se personal edition and spybot search and destroy. both are free.\n\nActually, all free I have recommended. The last but not least is to select proper browser because most security problems starts from browsing habit. In this case, my one and only choice is to use opera browser (www.opera.com). it has the best track record of security(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_comparison#Vulnerabilities). its great.\n\nBe happy with your computer experience with above combination. its all about the total experience.

I place all my faith in the Symantec 'Nortons Internet Security' package for my desk top PC. It's never let me down yet (over 8 Years). I also use PC Cillan (provided by work) on my laptop but prefer Nortons.

I reckon norton is the best ;)\nAnd about the learning thing -- \nI WOULD turn it off (My opinion) because it's just letting everything go on the internet without your permission! So what if it's asking to much 'Allow' OR 'block' question.\nAnd anyway I've got this game called AXG mu online, it's a private server of real mu online and yes it gives you viruses but who cares norton seems to block it :D.\nand about the worm blocking thing for NIS 06 I think it's happening to everyone including me.

Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City... they all carry either Norton or McAfee.  AVG is an excellent product but if you do not know much about these types of products (anti-virus,firewall,spyware)then you should consider getting an all in one internet security suite.  My wife uses Norton Internet Security because it requires minimal input from the user.  You will haters/bashers of every program so take the comments with a grain of salt.

Neither - for now, I'm using the Beta version of Windows OneCare, which seems to have virus checking that is comparable to both Norton Antivirus 2005 and McAfee.  Only thing missing is e-mail scanning, which may well be added in future releases.
