What is the best anti-virus/anti-spyware program for a Windows 7 laptop that I can get for under $100? I know there are several different ones out there (Norton, Trend Micro, etc.), but is there one that really "stands out" and works well?
I also have a new Mac Book Pro laptop. I've been using Macs for a long time and know that they aren't generally prone to viruses and such, but I still like the security of an anti-virus/spyware program. Is there one that works well with Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

Without a doubt, for windows: AVAST. And it's free (the home version).
You can download it here:
avast! Free Antivirus - Download Software for Virus Protection
Some people prefer AVG, but in my experience, the program and virus database update system is a lot better in AVAST. In either case, both AVAST and AVG are every bit as good as any other virus program and are the most popular free antivirus software out there.
As far as your Mac, I dunno. I don't use Mac.
