Can't comment on the new version of McAfee, but I didn't like the firewall much on previous versions. Antivirus has been very good for some time though.

Like you, I've thrown in the towel with Norton. It gets slower by each release. I've now put on Zonealarm Security Suite 6 after favourable reports in mags and on the net. My system's speed has improved dramatically, but just one word of warning. Zonealarm does nag far more than Norton, so you have to respond more often to both program run requests and internet access. I've searched the net a few times for filenames I was unsure of, to see what they are before allowing access.

All-in-all, I'm happy with Zonealarm so far.
