I prefer Norton, but only if you have the latest version. There are some newer virus's that Norton 2003 and below can't detect, even with all of the updates installed. 2004 is also a lot better at applying updates in the background without bothering you about it. 2004 will also detect some spyware progs that Spybot and Adaware don't. One thing that is nice about Norton is that the virus definitions are dated rather than just having a version number, so you can tell at a glance if you are up to date or not. Norton seems to take up almost no resources at all for me.
I've never really liked McAfee, or PC-Cillin, but they're both probably fine as long as you keep them up to date. Virus protection alone isn't enough though. Spyware protection, firewalls, timely security patches, good passwords, and other good security procedures are also a must.
