I had a 90 day trial of McAfee Virus Scan and Firewall on my new XP Dell
notebook computer.
I scanned all files and it said that it found 78,000 files
I installed Norton AntiVirus2005 and it scanned 144,000 files.
Why the difference??

Settings. For example Archive files. ZIP, CAB, CHM, HTA, etc., file are
compressed with
many files inside.

No. McAfee retail products are crap. Their corp./enterprise software is
excellent.
As for the number of files, it all depends on the settings set with a given AV
application.
Archive files is just one example that can alter the total number of files
scanned.
