Which is better, McAfee or Norton?

I have Verizon DSL internet which offers free Norton. I also have AOL access which offers free McAfee. Which is the better one to use on my computer? Both are free and it appears they offer the same security protection.

well both of them suck why don't you try kaspersky that is the best i think i am working in a ministry and we use this in all our departments.
I have tried most antivirus software. And Norton and McAfee are the most commercially used but they're also the most to HOG your pc down. And with AOL crap, mixed with any of these two, your surfing experienced will be with either frequent pop ups or spam. The best antivirus that I have used and has prevented many infections is Kaspersky antivirus. You get updates hourly. The best and doesn't hog your system. NORTON and MCAFEE suck.
Really, They are both a load of crap. I had Norton 2005 and 2007 installed and all it did was sit there. No protection, Slows computer.

I recommend (if you prefer to install a free AntiVirus) Avira AntiVir (Google it). It has 99.45% Detection rate and updates itself.
