Done some digging and here is a nice list(note this list is only antivirus): Anti-Virus comparative February 2008 (http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/comparatives.html) Click on online results.

There is more comparisons as well but it gets a little biased just like ones opinion.

My opinion for an all in one product in this order of preference is:

1. Kaspersky aka KIS

2. BitDefender

3. Zone Alarm Internet Security Suit

4.Never tested but I am interested to see if ESET Smart Security is as good as NOD32.

Note #4 is only at a guess as I can't find any pros or cons on that. 1-3 is labeled accordingly due to what's recommended by most users. I have heard that NIS (Norton Internet Security) is allot better than the 2006 or 2007 series and not as resource intensive like the past but still unconfirmed.

I personally will always provide personal experience and unbiased answers if you ask me what I recommend.

We encourage users to ask what some of the experts here think on a particular product when it comes to this stuff and we'll gladly provide opinions and if asked we can provide links to each as well. As you older members that joined this forum when it first came out you see we have expanded to PC support as well as software other than DVD Backups from other vender's. We were able to do this thanks to some of our forum members expertise.

Good info thanks!
I had the latest NIS on the wifes which I have to admit was alot better then previous versions, and had Zone Alarm suite on mine, switched them both over to KIS and have not looked back great program great protection and not resource intensive like the others and updated daily, and offers unsurpassed protection just a great program in my book! also gives me the option to install on 3 computers
