I'd agree with that regarding the anti-virus alone. McAfee is quicker and less resource hungry, but I tried their firewall and was not impressed at all.
I like Norton's firewall, so I tend to run NAV as they tie together (in NIS). I used to run an old version of McAfee and ZoneAlarm but started getting grief when I moved to XP. I then tried Kaspersky AVP...arrrggghhh!!!! Nothing but problems! As I said, I've tried the new McAfee and was impressed by the AV but not the firewall. I also tried the two products included with Ontrack Systemsuite. The firewall didn't impress, and the AV (Trend) missed a trojan (fully updated btw), so I then tried Norton. Yes it does slow the system down, but it seems to get along with everything I run, and it doesn't seem to miss anything.
And that's the key, I think. It depends a lot on what you are running as to what suits.
