They're both good... use either one.
My son was a programmer for McAfee and even while he worked there I still used Norton. He uses Norton now too...

I've tried McAfee...
...which led me to Norton...
...which finally led me to AVG Anti-virus

Before there was an internet McAfee was the only virus scanner around. They had a BBS based out of Mt Veiw CA where you could go read about viruses and get your computer scanned.  At that time Norton was the premiere utilities package and Xtree and PC Tools were hot on their heels. McAfee did a lot to bring anti-virus software into being.
but Microsoft did more than anyone to make anti-virus software a reality... (necessity)

Norton on my desktop and McAfee on my Laptop
If I had a gun to my head and had to choose, I would pick Norton because they do seem to update more often than McAfee and I've had it longer(4yrs.)than McAfee(1yr.)I guess I'm just more comfortable with it because I've had it so long.
