Neither. Go with AVG or Avast. Those 2 you mention keep me in business.

About the same–They both have drawbacks but will do the trick

I have been a PC tech for a long time and my opinion is that Symantec/Norton is very over-rated. It hogs a lot of computer resources, making it run noticeably slower and is also not that good at detecting viruses. Plus it can really screw up your machine. I have never used it on my computers. I just see the bad results from other people using it on theirs.
I use McAfee on all my systems. I currently have 8 personal licenses for all my PCs plus for my other family members. Nobody ever has a problem with it.
The only thing I suggest as a tweak is to stop McAfee scanning all files on the real-time protection - set it to scan program files and documents only. After that you would hardly know its there and it offers great protection.
