What is the best anti-virus and anti-spyware software out there? I'm getting conflicting answer

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)

The reason that experts are giving you conflicting advice is that there is no one best program. The strongest protection you can have is if you use a combination of programs, since each program will detect different things.

The good news is that there are quite a few free or low-cost programs out there. You can get your computer scanned for viruses for free at housecall.trendmicro.com. My favorite antispy software is Spybot S%26D, although AdAware is good too. These are both free as well.
