Norton or McAfee?

[Xaquin44]

I use Avast

Norton and Mcafee are huge resource hogs.

I've always used Symantec products but I have to tell ya - McAfee security suite is the bomb! I got it with my new computer and it's got all kinds of cool things that Norton doesn't.

So here's the dilemma: I just bought the Norton upgrade for my home computer. Should I send it back and get McAfee or should I go ahead and install it? Which one do you all like best?

AVG Free ............ I am right now testing kaspresky .....

you can chuckle @ Seagate's Misfortune then get 60days free from a link @ the bottom

I have also used the Symantec Corp Client for yrs ..... anything with ol' Peter Norton's name on it has been pretty much destroyed by Symantec's mishandling of the dev of the Consumer Version of Norton System Works / Anti Virus .......... most are still resource pigs ..........

I have Norton Corporate Edition, free updates, downloads and no yearly renewals...

Our home has been virus free for 3 years on all 3 of our computers...

Koff Koff .......... bring it home from work ?

Honestly with 3 Gb in mine I never fill enough to use and VM Unless I am compiling Huge Maps for HL2 DM .......... then after 3 hrs ifs kind full

AVG sounds like the best out there, but what about CA ?
I got one year free with Vista and it's getting time to renew for $s.
