Does anyone know which software is top rated for computer security (spyware, firewall, anti-viruses, etc)?

Thanks

On the other hand...We had Norton and ended up with several, yes - several viruses. Norton by itself slowed our computer way down, then with the viruses, it was amazing our computer booted up at all. Our computer guy recommeded Avast!, which is free.

We have always used Zone Alarm. Very reliable.

I'm not sure what is "top-rated" but my husband is a professional tech guy and he likes F-Prot for anti-virus and Spybot S & D for spyware. (He's not affiliated with these companies.) He does not recommend Norton or McAfee for virus protection or memory efficiency. The name of the firewall software he prefers escapes him right now.
