Norton Anti-Virus vs MacAfee

My 4 month subscription of Norton Anti-Virus ended that i got from buying my computer, i was trying to decide if i should pay 29$ to renew the subscription or acquire MacAfee for free via my college or obtain AVS virus scan. Couple of my friends said MacAfee and AVS arent very effective and its worth paying 29$ for Norton. So any suggestions?

 

IMO, NOD32 is the best there is ... http://www.nod32.com/home/home.htm

I think it is $39/yr.

 

There are a lot of antivirus programs out there. Go to Security help tools at the beginning of security section, check them out. Some are free, some are not. I have been using Norton for 4 yrs. now and have not had a single problem. I got it set up to check everything. Works great so far, including their firewall.
