Does nortons antivirus 2009 give false positives?

Norton and pretty much all antivirus software give false positives at times. Now it is less common that it happens but people have to understand the enormity of the task. Your antivirus software is searching through millions of characters and thousands of files looking for code that performs a malicious act. That is the equivalent of a person scowering a whole city for one pin. It's a large task and antivirus software are doing things a person could never do.

Witch is better mcafee or nortons?

I prefer nortons, especially the Norton Antivirus 2009. The reason is in the following:Norton AntiVirus 2009 provides fast, responsive defense against all types of malicious software including viruses, spyware, worms, and other software threats. It protects your system without slowing it down. Rapid pulse updates every 5 to 15 minutes help to ensure that you're protected from the latest threats. Working quickly and quietly in the background, Norton AntiVirus requires little memory and system resources. The new Norton Insight relies on extensive online intelligence to target only those processes at risk, resulting in faster, shorter, fewer scans. And the new Norton Protection System employs a multilayered set of security technologies that work in concert to detect, identify, and block attacks. Version 2009 improves on product performance. http://www.antivirusroot.com/Norton-AntiVirus-2009.html
