nortons hogs a ton of recourses tho. i used to have it, but uninstalled it cause when i was running it i would have like 25% cpu usage constantly without doing anything else (i got a pretty good comp as well). my friend, who is really good with computers is also not a big fan of norton. anyway ill ask him and see what he uses.

I use AVG, like a lot of people. Norton is bad though, it takes so much room and is kinda useless

Sophos is what my college uses, I work in IT and I've seen no problems with it.

ya, and Mcafee just all around sucks. I saw a mag review of all three and AVG got a 9/10, Mcafee for a 5/10 and Norton got a 7/10

Webroot Spysweeper Works really well for cleaning out spyware, adware etc. Or try Ad-Aware SE.
