Anti-Virus Suggestions Please

My 2008 Norton Internet Security has now expired so it's either renewing or
choose another Anti-Virus Protection program. I haven't incurred any
problems with Norton but I've read it's a resource hog and too, in some
opinions, it's not as good as other Antivirus programs on the Market.

I've checked out Reviews on:

1. PC Security Shield Deluxe 2009 Antivirus & Anti-Spyware. @ $22.49 w
Coupon
Powered by Kapersky Antivirus 6.0 recommmended in About.Windows.

2. ESET NOD32 Smart Security with Personal Firewall & Antispam @ $59.99
I'm not sure from their Site if this includes AntiVirus - it must.

3. Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite $39.95US/$48.81 Cdn Includes Firewall
Antivirus and Spyware.
ZA Suite is provided free of charge from my ISP. Problem is I have horrific
memories of installing their V7.0 within days of it being issued in Jan07.
Something about the Kapersky software they were using appeared to have caused
my problems. I ended up having to do a format after spending hrs on the ph
with my ISP T/S. If I'm advised it is superior, I'll give it another try.
The problem must be resolved by now as they're on V8 I believe.

Darn I'm unable to recall now the names of other Anti-Virus programs I read
of.
I must have checked AVG and McAfee but didn't make Notes as I've done with
the above.
If I missed out a good one, pls suggest it. I'm not looking for free
although I've entered a cpl prices I had noted for the benefit of Readers,
but rather "Efficient".

Should I make sure a Firewall is included. I thought it might be best
buying a full Suite of whichever one chosen. Maybe not. I'm presuming I can
keep Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Spybot and SpywareBlaster installed should I end up
buying a Full Suite.

I thought by reading Reviews i could make an intelligent decision but ...
All of the Reviews I read on these and others too, have many favourable and
many unfavourable experiences described. Hence I'm seeking what I believe to
be expert advice from the NG Advisors.

Pls advise because it appears, the more reading I do, the more confused I've
become. Thx so much for any suggestions.
