Question Which Is Better Norton or Mcafee

What do people think?? Am getting a bit bored of norton to be frank having bought all the products (antivirus & firewall) for the past 4 years, lately have seen some very negative things about norton and also whenever i goto to check my security online i see that i am not secure although i have fully configured norton to be just that!!! So am thinking about the new McAfee version 7, what do people think, i have norton 2005 etc

NEITHER, STAY AWAAAAY FROM THEM!!!!! Zonealarm for firewall and AVG or Kaspersky for Antivirus!

I agree with Luciel. Both products are crap. I use AVG and ZoneAlarm.

Also meant to ask is there any website that you can use that will check out your firewall and give you a diagnostic, i.e if it's working etc

Ohhh And cheers guys for the help
