Kaspersky is by far the best AV in detecting trojans, and norton is by far the worst.

Really, both McAfee and Norton are terrible...

I have Kaspersky installed, as it came recommended from a friend of mine deep in the compsec industry. But my real defense is twofold
1) Use alternative software packages that tend to be more secure (Firefox, GAIM, etc)
2) Be vigilant consantly

These days the only time I get a virus is if someone else fucks with my computer.

Yeah, Norton and McAfee are both utter garbage.
I use Kaspersky and F-Protect...

Norton is junk (I know from dealing with the stupid NIS 2k3 and various versions of NAV). AVG[=http//www.grisoft.com]AVG works great, plus it's free.

it was mcafee, cuz the new mcafee v9 took out my old v6 firewall which screwed up my internet, so either way it was mcafee's product(s) that messed my computer up...

fortunately liliIlili found out how to fix it, no help from the stupid tech @ mcafee...

Norton is awful... they're all puffed up about being the "greatest" antivirus when they're the worst. Mcaffee is bad too.
