I wouldn`t choose either to be honest lol

AVG free is what I use, and have never had any problems.

Since you`re asking which to choose if I had no choice, then I`d have to go with McAfee. That`s just because I haven`t heard of as many problems with Mcafee, as I have with Norton.

Regards Howard

Howard is right, both of them are bloatware, but McAfee is the lesser evil.

'll close this thread before it erupts in a 'flaming' war of the AVs.
