I had Norton since my first computer in 2000 and didn't have any problems
with it and then a few months ago, Comcast started offering McAfee free to
it's subscribers so I figured I might as well take advantage of their offer
(after what I pay them for my cable television and the internet I figured
they owed me something).... However, I found McAfee to be totally
disruptive. Constant questioning, "allow or do not allow whatever" when I
was using the computer was more than I could handle and I finally made a
wrong choice, and through my ignorance messed up my PC and had to reformat
my computer. So, having said the above, I find Norton to be so much
simpler... it does its job without interrupting me every five minutes and I
have chosen to use the Firewall that came with my Windows XP rather than the
firewall included in Norton AV.... so your use of the word obtrusive for
McAfee couldn't be any more accurate..... it sure is.... At least I found it
to be also.
