Which antivirus software is better, Norton Protection Center or Live One Care?

I got Rogers yahoo high speed internet which came with symantec's norton protection center which protects your computer in all domains cost if you buy at a store 450$ . I saw recently when i downloaded all the windows live softwares to keep my computer live that they offer a free Live One Care.



I was wondering which one is better and why?



Thanks

I would have to agree that Microsoft does not have a good reputation in the antivirus game and their firewall has never been great either. If you do not upgrade for the paid version of OneCare you cannot monitor outgoing connections on your firewall either.



I would say if it is a choice between the two.. go with Norton and make sure it's a complete suite like Norton 360 that includes ALL types of protection.. then you merely need to ensure it is properly configured and kept completely up to date along with your windows updates. 45 bucks is a good deal. That's less than a couple bucks a month for the security of your computer, info, identify info and peace of mind.



Any reliable vendor like mcafee, norton, kaspersky, etc.. that you invest in and work properly will serve you well if you use it with safe browsing habits and common sense. When you go cheap it usually comes out quite expensive in the end.



Good Luck
