Based on personal experience, flip a coin. I have worked with both and found
them effective when installed properly and maintained correctly. I do favor
the Symantec product because I have found their program easier to maintain.
One caveat: stay away from Norton "Systems Works" and the McAfee equivalent,
just get their antivirus product. The other will bog your system down with a
lot of un-needed stuff.
 
Check PC World magazine. They did a good test within the last year or so and
you should be able to read it online. (I personally think that NAV works
better and is easier to use.)

Hope this helps,
Milt
 
I tried to answer you yesterday, but it didn't post. So please excuse me if
you see two answers. I suggested that you go to PC World magazine's website
and do a search on antivirus software. The did a good test of several brands
and had a lengthy article on it within the last year. You should be able to
read it on line. (I personally like NAV better than McAfee. I think it works
better and is easier to use.)

Hope this helps,
