What does everyone think is the best to go with for spyware and antivirus? Also may be getting a mac in the near future, so need something mac compatible as well as vista.

In my windows times i used nod32 and can't remember that it ever let me down but i don't think there is a mac version out...

nod32 is the only anti-virus program you should have.

nis09 is great

I think just regular old Norton Antivirus is really great.

In case it wasn't obviously, I'm being very sarcastic. It actually blows pretty hard.

Silky: You don't need antivirus protection for your mac. There are no significant viruses out there that target the mac. Whatever it comes with is fine. I've been working with macs for nearly 20 years and have never even heard of a mac getting a virus.

If you have a 32-bit machine, go with this:

Otherwise, this one is the most accurate and least intrusive:

For free ones, I used to use AVG (Which I still have on here...)

But I also now have Avast, which I like.

QFT

3 macs myself and never got a virus on any of them and all three have no virus software installed

I third this. Best anti-virus protection is Mac OS X.

I prefer this stuff:

AINEC

this is, like, bingo, if you're running windows on your mac.

for os x, you need nothing, as others have said.
