I use AVG in conjunction with NetVeda's SafetyNet firewall. I find ZoneAlarm can be goofy sometimes. I would also suggest using an internet browser that is not Internet Explorer and getting our mail on Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, etc. I almost never get spyware or viruses, the occasional bad cookie.

oh god dont use Norton. Get yourself NOD 32, it's the best AV out there.

i agree with darrensen to NOT use nortons products. they are not as good as others available. plus seriously take up system resources, and a real pain to unistall.

I would just make sure the Windows partition is up to date and then not use Windows to surf the internet.

question, do u need to install an antivirus for the mac side? i know os x is safe safe safe.. but im a noob in mac, who's thinking of crssing over.
