You'll get nearly as many differing opinions as you will responses.
I don't think any security "suite" is a good choice. Use smaller,
less-resource-draining stand-alone products.
I used, and recommended, Norton Antivirus and then Norton Internet
Security, for many years, on Win98, WinNT, Win2K, and WinXP, all without
any significant problems. I had used McAfee prior to that. But it's
been several years since I've been tempted to try McAfee products. Their
quality seemed to take a steep nose-dive after they were acquired by
Network Associates.
However, when my subscription to Symantec's updates for Norton
Internet Security 2002 came up for renewal (at a cost substantially
higher than the preceding year's subscription), I decided to try less
expensive solutions. I downloaded and installed the free version of
GriSoft's AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php ) and the free
version of Sygate's Personal Firewall
(http://smb.sygate.com/free/default.php ). Both have proven to be
easily installed, easy to use, and quite effective. Additionally, I was
pleasantly surprised to see a small but very noticeable improvement in
my PC's performance, once I'd replaced the Symantec product.
Of course, since then, Symantec has purchased Sygate and ended the
distribution of the free firewall. Fortunately, there's still
ZoneAlarm, Tiny, Kerio, et al.

Bruce , AV-Comparatives don't allow people to give direct links to a
particular comparison . Use only the main link www.av-comparatives.org as
asked by the site.

Really? The direct links have always worked for me, and still do.
And the prohibition is against reproducing all, or a portion, of the
chart on other web sites; it says nothing to prohibit providing a link
directly to the chart. (Not that they'd be in any position to enforce
such a rule; the most they could do is make a request.)
