text: what is the best anti-virus and anti-spyware software out there? i'm getting conflicting answers from experts.   before 2006 i would say norton, this lastest editing of norton really is horrible. i've actually recommend my clients delete if they already have it. if you have good system resources (2ghz, 1gig ram+) i would recommend panda titanium. it's easily the best at the moment, but is a resource hog.  if you want a good overall performer, mcafee 2006. (i'm normally not a big fan, but the redone ui and low system resources are a big plus to me)  http://www.pandasoftware.com/ http://www.mcafee.com/us/
