|

Today I fully uninstalled Norton Security, then replaced it with Mcaffee security suite. I am running a scan and have already found 60 viruses even though its only scanned 30 000 files so far. So how come Norton didn't find them?  _________________ www.smokedfoodsdirect.co.uk |

I had Norton Security Centre a few years ago, absolute rubbish it was and slowed my computer to a standstill. Have had no problems with McAfee since using it. It was mrutty who recommended it to me so thank mrutty, good recommendation.  |

Norton is dreadful. It came free and preinstalled on this machine, so given that it's so pervasive, it's taken me a while to figure out how to remove it. I've always used Mcaffee in the past, and their after sales support is SUPERB too. _________________ www.smokedfoodsdirect.co.uk |
