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've been using Norton Internet Security since 2006 and I think it does a great job. I never had any issues with it. It basically has your antivirus, firewall, intrustion prevention all into one program.
I haven't used the One Care software so I can't comment on that.

i think in my opinion Norton Protection Center is better because they have an experiens in virus and live one care is new on this domaine
and if you ask what is the best antivirus i will answer you is Kaspersky
good luck

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

Norton Protection is better because windows live onecare does not remove or protect you against all viruses. Norton is most recommended for viruses. I had windows live onecare but it allowed viruses and spyware into my PC. Norton protected and removed all of them, also removes invisible viruses. Dont bother wasting money for windows live onecare.
Norton is worth the money. (norton also removes and protects against invisible infectable viruses. AVG free antivirus is good if norton dont work for you (which it should) i have had norton for 7 years and i had no problems)
(Any microsoft windows-made protections are a waste of time and money.) thanks
