Better yet...Don't use either of them! Look into
Trendmicro's PC-cillin 2003 Anti-virus software, which has
comes with a firewall as well. I've used Norton and most
recently McAfee VirusScan Online, which was really, really
BAD. Any time I went to close out Windows Update, it gave
me an alert that I had "suspicious scripting activity
taking place". Once I unistalled it and put in PC-cillin
2003, the problem went away. With both Norton and McAfee,
if you need to talk to a live person for support, a 15
minute call will run about $44 Vs. $17 for PC-cillin.
