I've been trying to find a location that has a good breakdown between McAfee and Norton. Can anyone point me towards an article that can give me the pros and cons. We are a small shop of about 100 workstations and 6 servers and I am trying to decide on which way to go for our email and workstation virus protection. I've noticed that Norton now has with 2000 clients a yearly subscription, does McAfee do the same? Also, we run Lotus notes, is there a prefered product in that realm? Any inputwould be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

ZDNet also has a good graph comparison showing the features of each product. The address of this chart is:

I have personally used both programs and have found that Norton Antivirus was a much better program. Norton's scan engine seems to be alot faster than Mcafee's and it will clean many files that McAfee says need to be deleted. Our network is currently running McAfee and I have had several problems with it. If I were to do it over again I would definitely choose Norton.
