I tried this once; I tried to install Mcafee after I had already installed Norton and Mcafee
Said that I had to uninstall Norton before I could install Mcafee

O and sorry for not having a poll

I don't really like either of them, but if i had to choose i would probably end up going with McAfee.

I'm perfectly happy with my Kaspersky however!

I like norton2005 I had 2003 before and hated it but between the two I think norton has a bigger virus data base and norton scans everything email, downloaded files from p2p programs instant messengers I dont know if Mcaffee does or not and I have not used Mcaffee 2005 so I dont have anyway to compare! All I can say is norton2005 works for me and I have tried alot of other antiviruses!
