Antivirus/Firewall Software

I need to renew my norton antivirus and firewall sometime soon. I was looking at getting a different software package, and looking for sugesstions.

I heard Zone alarm is pretty good for their firewall, but is there antivirus package good?

behind a hardware firewall with SPI, btw
 
kaspersky av is good, so is avast av. zone alarm is decent, but can be taken down fairly quickly. Im not a fan of firewalls on my personal box anymore, slows the internet down too much.
 
Newuser if you want a free combo then Zone Alarm, as you mentioned, coupled with AVG is a pretty good solution and easy on the wallet.
 
I use the older version of Kerio Personal Firewall (v2.15 I think) and it works great while consuming minimal system resources.
 
I use Trend Micro's online housecall for AV.

and I use Sygate firewall on any system that requires one.

(home systems, not work)
 
If you want something free, go with AVG + ZoneAlarm, or avast! + Sygate, or any combo of such.

If you want to pay for something, you should give Eset NOD32 a try.
