WOT and does not protect you.

WOT and does not protect you.
Google chrome has that red website. doesnt protect against downloads though. thats when norton pops in. Oh and how WOT protects me is cause it has thoose red sites.

Can anyone else tell me if i should get it?



why?
Norton products are notorious for being buggy, controling, and ineffective. There are several other products (e.g. AVG Free and Avast!) that are user-friendly and free.

The most important thing is to not be an idiot online and get a virus at all.

It's free for anyone with Comcast internet :|

what is worse? mcafee or norton?


Norton by far
I used mcafee once. and the last time i used it. Once it found a virus. it said if i want to uninfect or delete a system file. once i clicked uninfect. it give me BSOD and then i rebooted and saw this: Unable to find win.exe, Unable to continue loading windows. I tried it again and mcafee said its a virus.

Obviously a virus wouldn't want itself removed.

But the infected virus found was Win.exe
