Norton or Mcafee what is better? Up date
Anti male ware/virus protection. Which one is better?
Forum Discussion
I am not all that thrilled with either as they are kind of BIG now days.
But I will NEVER buy from McCaffee. HERE IS WHY.
WHen they both first hit the market, I theorised that one or the other might be, shall we say "Seeding the market". Of course it was all theory.. back then.
When I upgraded my amateur license to Extra I first started with a Gordon West book.. Well that did not help me that much. So I took a class, the class used the ARRL book.. Now that one was much better (NOTE The Gordon West book was useful. but as a "Review" more than a study guide, for me.. I'm told this is because I am, already, a certified electronics technician.. NON technicians I'm told do better with the GW book)
Well that was "Aside". Back to topic.. The Teacher, who is a friend of Peter Norton.. Told me who the professor was that McCaffee hired to write and release virus programs to the net so they would have a "head start" on Norton when it came to protecting against them.. Of course they no longer do that today..
But they started that way. Or so claims my teacher.
He also says Peter Norton would NEVER do such a thing.. I have no reason to doubt him.
Thus I'd recommend Norton over McAffee even if I use something else.
NOTE: I do not choose to give away the name of what i use.
I also once ticked off a bunch of 13 year old hackers you see. And though they are adults now.. Why take the chance.
