The thing about the links you gave were, they were all fanboy/hate answers. None of them provide proof or details. E.G. (From your Wiki Answers link):
Weak grammar, not much info and plain hate. This is a non-constructive answer. Same goes to the Mozilla thread that you linked to.
Here's a table by av-test.org, a certified Anti-Virus test lab; http://www.av-test.org/certifications.
As you can see, Norton achieved almost-perfect scores compared to other competitors. Tallying up the marks, Norton scored the highest with the score of 16 with PC Tools Internet Security coming in second with the score 15.5.
In the report here; http://www.av-test.org/reports/2010q3/avte...ntec_103505.pdf , Symantec scored a perfect 100 for Malware detection across the three testing months. In those three testing months, Norton only had two false alarms, while the industry average is 5. And the slowdown score was only 157 seconds.
Let's compare withKaspersky's report:
Perfect 100 with malware detection
5 false alarms
219 seconds in slowdown.
Results are clear, IMHO. I only took three points which to me was important. Other else, please read the reports.
Refer to the av-test link I gave you and you'll be ashamed. McAfee is not a certified AV.
The report states that although in terms of slowdown it scored 52, the protection aspect is where McAfee lacked.
With only 57, 76 and 54 percent for its protection against 0-day malware, coupled with 25% for malware blocking, that is why McAfee is weak.
All else, please read the website I gave you.
