Norton and McAfee - two of the biggest resource hogs on Windows (BLOATWARE)

Avoid these two as much as possible. But newbies usually use these two since they're the most readily available.

The only time nga okay ra gyud ang Norton for me is when I used this under Mac OS X x86 (Intel) since I want to scan the files first that I receive before forwarding it to someone else. I would have used Clamav for Mac but they still don't have Mac OS X Universal binaries.

loging in as a windows limited user can help a lot. windows itself can act as an antispyware/antivirus if use correctly.

^ yes it is a legit antispyware and can also function as a real-time spyware monitoring system.

Windows Defender? its still in beta 2, i was not able to have the chance to use the first beta and downloaded the beta 2 a couple of days ago... seems working fine...

[etgo]

I use the following:

Office: Mcafee and Windows Defender Beta2 (version 1.1.1347.0)
Home: NOD32 and Windows Defender Beta2 (version 1.1.1347.0)

Spybot to detect and remove some adware/spyware which Windows Defender can't detect.
