In my experience Norton has done a better job than McAffee. Unfortunately, though, Norton doesn't detect certain trojan-type tools similar to BackOrifice. Their reason is that they want corporations to use the software without it detecting spyware and remote-admin type software that the corps don't want employees to be aware of. Or at least that was the position Symantec took a couple years back, maybe they've changed now.
On what grounds does one say P4's suck?

p4s suck because they hardly run at their rated speeds. for example my 1.2 tbird is faster than a p4 1.6 gig. My other cpu xp1600 is running at 1900 mhz and its stomping p4 2gig. If youd like i could throw up some benchamarks to further illustrate. The only reason pentium 4s are so popular is because they advertise and every big company picked them as their main cpus. You can buy a Xp2100, motherboard, a 32x cdrw, case and a stick of 256 mb pc133 ram for under the price of what you can get a p4 processer itself. And the amd machine will be every bit as fast as the pentium.
