Yer not wrong there,
Scuttlebutt 
I'm with
colmac viz. Pandalabs. I tried Titanium freeware some time last year, then splashed out for the full deal. Avg, anti-spyware and firewall.
Went through various freeware: AVG (Grisoft) very good, a-Squared, nod32, avast. The Spanish Panda is awesome, no conflicts with Zonealarm, which I also run, or my ISP's spyware.
But, one point of note, I use Firefox and have to disable Panda's firewall initially to log on, or I get a "server has reset the connection-try again" window. Turning on firewall once it's running is no probs.
Was told Norton/McAfee are viruses anyway and avoided them apart from one or three of their "Fix Tools".
And CCleaner is a
must have. 
Clears up what system tools' "disk cleaner" won't. I run it at least once a day.
Now all you need is a top-shelf registry cleaner.
