It only got 2 stars

That review seems to be more about blocking sites for children than stopping viruses getting into your computer. And Total Protection isn't reviewed on the site

Not that I would change my anti-virus software, because mine is paid through my Dad's company

Aside from being highly resource intensive, not as good as other programs at detecting malware, and difficult to uninstall, it's the best.



It is the best. No doubt about that.

Yes but many of us here dont just use our virus protection software because we get it 'paid for' by someone else. That would be acting biased.

It's not biased, he doesn't work for that company (McAfee). It's just his company pay for the program(and internet) because he often has to work at home.

I'm just saving money, I get good protection for my computer without having to pay anything

And the review you linked isn't actually anti-virus software, so what you were trying to prove I don't know

So use what comes free eh? So a 3 wheeled banger is better than a ferarri because 'someone else paid for it' is it?
What i was proving was that Norters is the best virus protection ever bar none and you would do well to remember that.

No, it is that it come's free AND does the job well. Actually, my laptop came with Norton already installed, so I had the choice between the reliant and the Ferrari...I chose the Ferrari

Using that logic, I could prove Hienz Baked Beans are the best by posting a link reviewing Daddies Ketchup

What I hate about Norton is that you can't actually remove it entirely.
