Best firewall software?

Do you prefer to use Norton of McAfee when protecting your PC?

Currently, I'm running Norton's Internet Security. Haven't had any problems yet.

ummmm tbh i find that norton is a whore on the computers resources like the RAM and CPU so i gave up on that security, ummm mcafee is supposed to be alright but i have none people to get viruses even with it on.
ummm tbh im using nod32 antivirus and using windows firewall and that does fine for me as nod32 is a tiny antivirus and still gets rid of viruses and windows firewall is always update and fast to react so it aint to bad atm

I use Syamntec (Norton) 10 Corporation edition. IIt's a Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Adware program that finds all the crap you don't want.

It seems to work fine, but this spyware got into my computer, SAV 10 deleted it,but the Spyware had deleted the ".msi" Installler File, so now whne you right click, it always complains that the Installer isn't available, so I might have to -reinstall the program...

I use McAfee SecurityCenter.
It works fine but it gets abit annoying at times because of the firewall which isn't very user-friendly.
But I prefer McAfee over Norton because I've had bad experience with Norton...

I find that McAfee really screws up with my computer and kind of over protects it. Right now I use my Windows firewall as well as Norton.

personally i dont think anti virus program are that useful, anti-virus program such as Northon - not the mention Mcaffee - they take up way to much Ram. Besides if there is a virus u couldn't completely remove the virus just using an anti-virus program. Anti-virus program only temperately prevent the virus from running, as soon as u uninstall (or the anti-virus program expires) then ur dead. So that's why i only use the AvG Free, it's 100% free and it's better than Mcaffee.
