Symantec/Norton is good, and probably the best, but I don't like that much as it sucks system memory/resource. Had no choice as it came (legally) with the laptop I'm using.

I use Zonealarm Security Suite.
It's supposed to be the best firewall though, and the new version they may introduce soon will use the Kapersky (i think) anti virus engine, so should be really good.

You have to optimize the AV after the installation. so do not be stupid and tell us it takn more resources its not going to eat your memory if you are a smart geek :D

bitdefender AV is the number one.
