I have a desktop and a new laptop arriving this week, both in need of some form of security. What is the best thing to do to protect my pc's from evil? Is Norton my best option, or are there others out there that are better? Any advice would be great.
Norton and McAffee both suck donkey balls.

If it is for personal use, AVG and Avast are both free and both do at least as good a job (and in my opinion, much better) than the venerable old Norton.

If you insist on paying, both those offer a more enhanced feature set that you can pay for, or NOD32 and Kaspersky are good. There are other good ones, too; but those are a few of the main names.
