I've been using Norton ever since it was on a 3.5" disk. I believe it's the best from what I've heard from others that have used different ant-viruses and then switched to Norton. I do use Norton 360 with the ability to install it on 10 computers. Great video btw.
I really love your videos editor, he/she deserve a shoutout !
That said, this channel is so underrated, but hey we'll help it grow !
And as usual Sir Mike Vaugn was funny and professional during the presentation.
Honestly, I'll go for McAfee since it's less heavy on the systems resources.
But If in case some one has a High End PC specs. then Norton is clearly a go for.
For the next analysis, would you mind reviewing Eset Smart Security Premuim ? 🥺
thanks Kris for all the kind words! Let's grow it!
and regarding ESET review- we're working on it right now, so in a few weeks it will be here for your attention ;)

@Windows Security I haven't experience "adwares" but self-promotion, which is personally OKAY. It might be an issue if for example they pushed a 5 year licence subscription when I just purchased a year licence, which haven't been the case yet.
You see?
I’ve never used Norton but McAfee is pretty good! The software is light and when I’m running virtual machine with it turns on. It doesn’t slow down my PC at all
Very informative! Thanks!
Been using Norton exclusively since around 2006, and stuck around even through their strange growing phase of changing product names/suites and making new types of products then awkwardly merging them or quietly retiring them. A lot of people seem to have a knee-jerk reaction to belittling or downplaying the software, but the capabilities and competency of its anti-malware engine have been proven to me multiple times throughout the years, and I am a happy user. I currently use the package with the LifeLock option.
Greetings from Portugal, I'm using Norton, as I have auto-renewal, I got Norton Utilities subscription, should I install this software? Thank you.
I would have liked to see the advantages of each step in each. I am confused in picking the right choice for me. I have McAfee Total Protection right now but there are versions for $7.99 and 17.99 at Best Buy but not sure which I should get. I have a lot of issues with McAfee over the years and now thinking I go back to Norton. I used to have Norton 360. Mine expired today so I am headed over to Best Buy to look at McAfee Total Protection on sale for 17.99 and Norton 360. I did not check that price. I think you quoted 39.99.
Thanks for the advice.
Thank you very helpful!!!
So glad!
I have both Norton with LifeLock and McAfee protection on my computer is this a good thing or do I need to get rid of one of them?
Sir please make a video on best antivirus for Ubuntu.

You are straight to the point and easy answer with cool editing skills. Even if this is the first ( of many ) video i watched j think he definitely deserves more subs.
I love trend micro & Kaspersky .
Been using Norton since 2004, my sister, brother and I split the cost for 5 licenses for the 360 Deluxe every year. I get one for each of us, plus my gf and then we have an extra one left over in case someone gets a new machine. $10-20 / year ain't too hard to come by. Even if I wanted to switch to another they are all so attached to the Norton Password Vault that I decided "why change it?". The few times I was having an issue with it in the last 18 years, I was able to chat with support immediately and they even remote desktop to fix everything for you. We generally do not use the mobile app, I prefer LookOut for my devices. It is just what I am used to.
Yes. Hoepfully you didnt have large power cosumption. And deinstalled one exe file. Otherwise it could be expensive for you. And never try to deinstall. Perhaps you think it is easy and going fast? NO. It is not.
@@ferdinandgetti1260 other than the times when it failed to update (which hasn't happened in over a decade now) we haven't had any problems with it.
Yesterday I purchased Norton for my phone, this morning I looked for it, & ots not downloaded on my phone , what do I do now?
great advice thanks
Glad it was helpful!
@@cybernews It was - I will stick with Norton - I was looking to change but not now thanks to you. xxx
I have McAfee but will try Norton because I'm pretty sure I have malware McAfee didn't detect.
Oh dear, give it a try and let us know how you get on! :)
Does Norton do things with iPhone like scans for viruses and stuff
I was leaning towards macfee but now I think I'm going to stay with Norton 360 they have more features that I need thx 😊
Mulțumesc frumos!
Norton is now using a virtual assistant. I am having problems transfering my subscription to a new PC to be able to update Windows 11. I have found talking to a robot difficult plus the fact that I am unable to login to my norton account
i have same problem with avast pro so i bought a mcafee key from net its same price as avast and comes with unlimited vpn
which the best antivirus recommneded by apple for mac os?
You don't usually need an antivirus for a Mac. They don't usually get viruses because no one bothers to program any for them.
I have Norton and it can be a pain when gaming or watching a movie. It almost acts like the virus it's protecting you from with all the unwanted popups
Hey, thanks for the comment. We actually have a video about antiviruses and gaming, if you're interested how we found them: th-cam.com/video/o8HeFdVtd5A/w-d-xo.html
@@cybernews 😊😊
thats good
AVG free Is better than Norton or McAfee and the paid version is cheaper than either of them.
@@hmmm............... I had it and it sucked
Used most of them, Norton, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Microsoft & all failed in their own way. Norton made my new PC unbearably slow & a worm still made it in. Trend was pleasant but still let a virus in & later let a hacker in. McAfee I was lucky to join them when they had just cleaned up their slow reputation, but at the cost of detection ability (waits for files to run before scanning, risky); still got a virus but it fixed it with 1 scan. Kaspersky's added features slowly stopped working like virtual keyboard to protect passwords. Microsoft least impact on Windows (duh) but virus still snuck in.
Thanks for your comment, which antivirus did you stay with in the end?
@@cybernews McAfee, but wouldn't say I'm committed or that they're the best. Really only chose them because their database of dangerous sites is currently the best. Even Norton allowed me to visit infected sites, McAfee didn't.
Sorry for being blunt but how in the fuck do you get so many viruses Ryan? Is it because you're downloading pirated files by clicking big green download buttons ? I'm sorry but if you went through so many anti-virusus and still managed to have viruses that "snuck" through. Perhaps you don't need an anti-virus Ryan, you just need a brain and some common sense on the internet.
@@notproplayer3649 lol no offense taken, if I were in your shoes I'd think the same. But I'm in my late 30s & this is decades worth of experience, some of which is me being an idiot but if you care for some explanation you'll see most were just bad luck: -
1. Norton - was a teen on a shared home PC with a bro that didn't care what he downloaded. Dial up internet meant we never updated Windows because it took too long so when Blaster worm hit PCs in the early 2000s we were unpatched.
2. Trend - 100% my fault, in my early 20s, trying to watch TV on my own PC. Clicked the wrong thing & got a virus. The worm came from an online Matrix game that wasn't my fault, guess hackers just gravitated to a game about hacking & decided to mess with me.
3. McAfee I convinced my parents to install McAfee on their PC & it detected a virus they caught, not my fault. Oh & just recently McAfee corrupted itself on their PC & I needed to fix it for them.
4. Kaspersky - Not my fault because not a virus, it was just Kaspersky removing features.
5. Microsoft - Not my fault, related to point 3, parents had a resident virus prior to installing McAfee & it found & cleaned what Microsoft couldn't.
@@EagleLeader1 Hey, I must say I'm really surprised but I also really respect how well you took my very mean comment and actually gave some context to your story instead of (very rightfully) wanting to not respond. Thus, I apologize for the way I acted.
Regarding your story, what can I say, it really does seem like a streak of either bad luck, either things out of your control. Interesting insight on the different anti viruses too.
However, like my previous comment suggested, I haven't yet have to deal with other's people computer getting viruses.
In the early days, I'd regularly get viruses and sometimes they would entirely fuck up my computer but I always managed to resolve these issues, probably due to the fact that what I downloaded was more crapware than a real virus.
In any case, these, at the time, frequent occurrences didn't bother me that much and made me wary of what things were suspicious or not, regardless, I stopped using anti-viruses quite a lot of time ago because dealing with quite a lot of different files (code, obscure software, even some certain game files), no matter what anti virus I had, it would always find a way to fuck up my files even though I knew it was safe. But this is my story and I guess it is natural for me to live without an anti-virus for some time now but not everyone is willing to take the risk or to learn from getting infected from time to time as I did (my parents are an example too of people that I'd perhaps not trust to do many things without an anti-virus I must admit), hence, as your story explains it, anti viruses do make sense for many people.
But hey, in my mind, computer security has always been active rather than passive. These days there are so many hardware and machine code level exploits that are discovered that sometimes, no anti-virus other than your common sense is going to save you ; )
Cheers mate!
I’ve always used Norton but I’ve just got a new computer today and it’s got Mcvee on trial for a month and my Norton is paid until June 20222. How do I get my Norton onto my new computer?
Hello Joan, you'll need to uninstall McAfee if it is on your device, I'm not sure you can run both at the same time. Once you've uninstalled you'll need to install Norton and put your login details. I'll link you some instructions, you'll need to find the device you're using on the list: support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20090708112600EN
Which win Mcafee or Norton
it was helpful man,,,
I'm glad we could help!
Hi, I have a pc at home and have been using Norton for years. How do you know when the subscription is up? I just keep getting adds from Norton. They never mention my subscription . I was rarely using my PC, however, during the pandemic I was using my PC , for work, at home connecting to my computer at work through my employees VPN. I am no longer connecting to this. Do you think I need a VPN now for my PC?
Hey there, Sheila. I think you should be able to see all information about your Norton subscription within their website, therefore, simply go ahead there and connect with your credentials: login.norton.com
Regarding the VPN, I think it is essential nowadays. You can check my other video where I explain what is and why would you need a VPN: th-cam.com/video/JgHiALzI4jY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you . I have used both and I found Norton the best and it use to be free . But things and a little hairier online that it use to be . I have my debit card scammed 3 times this year . I am going with Norton of course . , my original thought . But Thank you . For confirming this .
Thanks for sharing!
I got scammed today, my credit card information is stolen. And the website which stole my information appears to be "safe" at NortonLifeLock database. McAfee at least labels that website as "minimal risk." Moreover, I wanted to report the website to Norton data center but got error message two times. If your product can not find the problem and your system discourages users to report scammers why should the customers choose you? I think Norton interface is pretty awesome and it is super lightweight ib terms of using RAM and processor but I had enough. The end of my Norton story.
Norton is great antivirus! it´s the power in the hands! 💪😉
on my pc norton came pre-installed
Avast free Vs McAfee free which is best sir??
Microsoft Defender is the best
Iam going with Norton
Let us know how you find it! :)
Is there a link where I can use the McAfee 30 day trial version? 💦👍🍒
It depends on your device, you should be able to find it on their website. :)
Plata o fac prin abonament lunar!
i dont like norton because if your installing like a new app thats not a virus- norton makes it so you CANT install it. where mcafee would let you if your te administrater
The fact that this video is so deeply underrated shows that most people would just rather get themselves exposed
Or they just choose other providers, which is fine too! 🤗
No, we just want reliable virus protection, not the 2 most terrible virus protections to ever exist. There are countless other virus protection programs. Either one of them is better than McAfee or Norton. AVG, Avast, ESET, and Bitdefender, just to name a few.
I know I'm late to the party but I DO have to say that McAfee uses a fuck ton of RAM on your computer, To the point where it took me a solid 10-40 seconds after clicking on anything to start opening it, So if you use computer for work or gaming, I don't think you should use McAfee.
Hey, we did actually make a video about the best av providers for gamers, if you're interested. Thanks for the insights though! th-cam.com/video/o8HeFdVtd5A/w-d-xo.html
Do you have any recommendations what use because I use my laptop for both T.I.A
@@miggyspain3218 Ordinarily as a gamer you wouldn't need any protection, as long as you keep your nose clean (don't try to pirate) and only use reputable retailers (steam, gog, epic games) and you should keep gaming and work separate, but I don't know any actual antiviruses to use
@@steampunkerton i miss read i though you wrote school work and gaming that was my fault sorry lol
oh so the windows default anti virus should be enough as long as I stay off shady sites that's good to know thanks for the reply.
I have McAfee on my laptop and it keeps telling me to renew so I wasn't if should renew or not
@@miggyspain3218 yea, Windows should be enough as long as you stay off shady sites, and remember, the best anti virus you can use is your mind, don't click on shady links, don't go installing this and that and this, etc. If you do that, don't be surprised when you get a virus, But if your a mainstream gamer who only uses stuff like steam then you shouldn't have much to worry abt, McAffee is something I believe to be a little bit on the "Pretentious" area of Antiviruses, Just don't renew it and do Windows security, I can assure you with almost every fiber of my being, as long as your not clicking into shady sites and fucking around and not clicking links, you are fine.
So is McAfee bad?
I paid 19,99 for 18 months mcafee live safe anti virus. I have a question, I didnt give any credit card information for automatic renewal, so after the year and half ends can I just go to the store and buy another cheap card of 19.99 or do I need to create a new account for the anti virus to allow me to use a new cheap serial from store?
Hey, Bruno. Well, I think everything will depend on McAfee's policies at the time your current subscription will end. If their policies will not change, then you should have no problems at all using the card from the store for their subscription, but to be fully sure, I would advise contacting their customer support regarding this question and I'm sure they'll give you the best answer!
I AM USING MCAFEE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS AND I AM SAFE WITH IT BUT I GO WITH NORTON 😅
why not swapping McAfee with Norton then? 🕵️♂️
XPLOVER: Typing in all caps indicates YELLING AND SCREAMING, certainly not your intent. Also, all caps is more difficult reading than all lower case, and in forums and threads all caps is highly frowned upon.
Can anyone explain the difference between Norton 360 and Lifelock?
Norton LifeLock is an IDENTITY Protector, Not an ANTI-VIRUS, While norton is an anti-virus with VPN features and stuff. Ex: If my info was leaked, That would be LifeLock's Job, If i got malware, That would be Norton's Job. You can get a norotn subscription with liefelock, And its your main account for norton account. Did that help?
Side note the person who replied is correct lifelock is not a virus protection however it is terrible because the creator of lifelock got his identity stolen 3 times.
Had both, except for price, Norton wins hands down.
This is the second presentation I have seen where Norton has the edge over the others. It seems to be a far cry from what it used to be. I may give Norton a go.
Avg free antivirus
Ok I was trying to get Norton so I couldn't get Norton because mcafee had some kind of stronghold on everything would allow Norton to complete the download I payed Norton,,,after hard sails pitch from McAfee I agreed the accessed my computer remotely and re arrange the transaction from Norton,,just bossed Norton out and toulk over it was like Putin goin through Ukrain Now I have McAfee and I don't know what I have I sware it was like a bogart take over
Took
All you have to do is uninstall McAfee if you have 2 virus protections on at the same time they consider each other a threat. But honestly they're both terrible virus protections uninstall them both and get AVG
Norton is trojan. Power consumption is unpredictable. So you have already to uninstall one exe file. After when you have enough and you want to quit - MUCH FUN! MUCH FUN! Yesterday i was thinking to make a youtube video how it is not working. First the program hangs up. Then you need to install (the next trojan!!!) the Tool Norton Remove and Reinstall. Of course it is not working like it should. You still get popups and you have to delete files on your computer manuel. Much fun with this. And of course i guess they dont care at all about your data. UNTRUSTWORTHY in every point.
What are u talkin about
Finally, someone in this comment section knows something about virus protection.😊 Norton and McAfee are both viruses themselves.
@@TheOnlyShoura He's trying to say that both of these Antiviruses have terrible reputations actually let viruses onto your computer and slow your computer down. If you want a good anti virus go with AVG
Don't use mcafee it's trash it makes your computer really slow. I had it on my computer and after I Uninstalled it my computer got a little better my mom's computer has it I'm trying to get her to uninstall it my dad's computer had it after I dot him to uninstall mcafee and the 15year old pc was like a 5year old pc with no problems my dad's phone has it aswell and having problems with it being slow i think mcafee is the culprit

Installed on one device? :D

cause i get many viruses : C
@@badrusselyt that’s bad, the anti virus programs will fail to intercept system events, using 1 is way better
@@snvzx1326 pls tell is antimalware better or an antivirus
I’m in Norton now
So let me get this straight. For the premise of this video, you asked yourself which of the 2 worst anti-viruses to ever be created is better?....... Why?
The answer is to steer clear of both of them if they come pre-installed which they usually do delete immediately.
does McAfee slow down a mac?
Every antivirus application might slow down your device by a bit, but everything depends on the hardware of your device!
Quick help from Norton? Well I've waited for an hour and been disconected. Also, their chat bot is not helpful if you have anything out of the ordinary. And they are expensive.
Use AVG their free antivirus is better than both Norton and McAfee. They also have a paid version that is cheaper and far more effective.
Norton
try the McAfee livesafe
If you want to save your computer's life steer clear of anything from McAfee or Norton.
AVG Antivirus

McAfee forever ⚰️💊🍺🍻🥃🍷☕🚬
Wow so disappointed with this 8 minutes of gibberish. Basically all you did was read the product profiles readily available on their websites. And you didn't even get the full macafees package pricing correct. They try to push family bundles priced at $150 USDL per annum which completely invalidates your narrative. Worst of all there is Zero research or effort by you to actually compare performance by putting them up against infected systems and reporting comparative results. Mate take some time to watch some of the vids on other channels, now that would be a valid comparison.
Only boomers would believe in Norton and Mcafee, let alone purchase subscriptions lmao
yeah no.
you def don't know much about network security than
@@ajd0101 I'm sure network security is all about showing ads, or scare someone into purchasing premium. And hey, if you trust an antivirus that has a built in crypto miner, there's nothing to be worried about, at all.

@@warrior2871 You are new to the internet i guess.

@@warrior2871 You need to learn a lot. But thanks for your funny answers.
I jumped to the end of this video knowing what the conclusion would be. Norton is better. In fact, all of his videos comparing Norton to other brands, Norton wins. Why? Is it because this opportunistic clown gets paid by Norton? Don’t believe a word of it. Norton is a ripoff. !!!
