I've been using ZA for several years on my 2 XP PCs. ZA is still not
available on Vista. So I began a search for suites for my Vista Premium
laptop which came with a 30-day McAfee suite and which ran fine.
I tried the free trials of Kaspersky 6 and OneCare first on my Vista
system then extending to my XP systems. Of course, the previous suite
was removed before installing the next suite.
I know that Kaspersky is a top-rated suite and that OneCare gets bad
reviews. But here is what I've found.
Kaspersky ran well on Vista and XP with one exception: it slowed down my
games, in particular, FarCry.
OneCare is running well on Vista and XP. FarCry runs fine.
ZoneAlarm ran well for 2 years -- including FarCry -- until installing
version 7. Then FarCry slowed down even in game mode. I think that ZA7
is using Kaspersky virus software.
What have your experiences been with security suites on XP and Vista?

@corp.supernews.com:
I'm not much into suites (all combinations is pizen :-) but for AV:
1. Kaspersky is the strongest, and its lead further widens if you're into
high-risk netting (warez downloads, etc.)
2. Nod32 is very strong and is the best combination of power and light
load (especially useful for older computers).

OneCare is junk plain and simple and should be avoided just becuase of the false
sense of
security is provides.
