Is McAfee better then Norton for vista?

From personal experience and other reviews, Norton is probably THE WORST antivirus in great part because of its hog on system resources.
I would choose McAfee over Norton anytime.(despite the fact that im using comodo internet security lol)

LOL NORTON IS THE BIGGEST CRAP EVER!

LOL, my friend just got a PC (He's clueless with them) and was like I'm going to get Norton Antivirus put in, when I had my old PC it was the best around. I laughed so hard.

i prefer to not use big named antiviruses like McAfee and norton simply because there so popular, virus makers would want to make viruses that are capable of bypassing them easily.

norton 2002 rolls kids

It has the same anti virus capabilities are the new version, but it makes up for where norton has fallen apart. It takes up next to no resources and is nothing but basics. It doesn't hog down your system because it was made 7 years ago.

i think i still have a copy of my Symantec Norton AntiVirus 98 lying around somewhere in the attic lol maybe it'd use no resources now when loaded on a modern machine.

I use Comodo and AntiVir...works great.

hmm i have had mcafee installed on my comp ever since i got it (2005). so the version is pretty old but i hate it. i dont know how it compares to other virus protection programs, but i dont like mcafee at all. and in terms of protecting my computer, it's other programs that make the difference for me.

enter your billing information o.O

Cool! Thank you!

So i download this, then it'll be useful for about an year?


oh and can people help me answer on how this would help my system?


and another thing, thanks for posting

I thought McAfee was alright. It certainly won't remove everything since it doesnt have many features as other products do.

Try using Comodo Internet Security. It has an antivirus, which only gets better everyday, a firewall, which is the best in the market, and a proactive security feature called Defense+ which is one of the best HIPS(Host Intrusion Prevention System) out in the market that acts as an antimalware that doesn't rely so much on signatures.

Oh, and best of all, it's completely FREE, for life.

Check it out: http://www.comodo.com/

nice. im downloading right now. if it's much better than ill uninstall my old mcafee in an instant.

thanks.

I don't have a virusscanner.

I'm playful and risky like that.

Actually, I tried Norton '09. And it actually has very small resource needs. I used to dislike norton too but '09 isn't that bad
