Norton is a memory hog......
McAfee is worse, especially if your PC has multiple user accounts logged on at once.
I guess while we are bashing McAfee and Norton, we should say what is wrong with them. :) The main problem is that they do a very good job at what they are supposed to do... protect against viruses and spyware. So well, they tend to hook themselves into every nook and cranny of the Windows OS, choking the system. Norton also has a nasty habit of reporting that it has found a virus or trojan but cannot delete it (what use is that?).
