Norton VS. McAfee?  I have to update my Norton and I am wondering if I should dump it for McAfee.  Some say yes in my family and others say no, keep Norton.  What are the opinions out there?? I have a few days left on the Norton.

And see about getting the free AVG or buying it. I do not surf the web like I use to so I just use the free version of AVG and it has caught all my problems.
I dumped both Nortons and McAfee a few of years ago.....  I used ThunderByte  for a long time tho.  Myself, If it was me. I would buy ThunderByte..... It all depends on what you do on the web and what you like.

Nortons, you can never get off your computer if you try to get rid of it. Unless you reformat. I use to love Nortons years ago, but no more. I use Mcafee, not to happy with them either.

Norton came on my machine but it is ok I like it....the stealth settings drive me crazy sometimes but you just got to know how to set it the way you want it...not the way THEY want it....

lmao...seriously.

I use Trend Micro PC-cillin...and I like it a lot.  Its much less intrusive than Norton or McAfee, in my opinion.
