Head to Head: Norton AntiVirus 2007 v McAfee Security 2007

September 15, 2006 in Security | Permalink

Screengrab_36 It seems like we spend more time discussing security software than most other applications. Well, that's simply due to the fact that there are now more security applications and commercial developers, and many new releases. Back in 2000, we only ever heard about Internet software. In 2002 we only ever heard about new photo management software. Now it's security-related apps. We're obsessed we keeping secure, to the point where the obsession is almost encouraging virus developers to beat the new technology. It's like a cat and mouse game.

Anyway, luckily for us the two big guns have released 2007 editions of their security software. Symantec have announced Norton AntiVirus 2007, whilst McAfee AntiVirus 2007 is also available. Both offer protection against the latest virus, spyware, Trojans and malware attack. Norton sports a brand new and much-improved interface.

Download Norton AntiVirus 2007 or McAfee Internet Security 2007. Don't forget that Panda Platinum 2007, Kaspersky Internet Security 6 and BitDefender Security Suite 10 are also available. There are also free antivirus apps such as the popular AOL Active Shield, AVG AntiVirus 7 and Avast Home 4.7. Phew. Let us know which security suite you prefer!
