Norton is crap.
McAfee is crap.
PCCillin is crap.

Kaspersky is the BEST.
F-Protect is good.
Nod32 is good.
AVG, AntiVir, Panda, BitDefender... All good.

F-Protect is my favorite, very efficient, with good price for multiple boxes.

Use Spybot Search and Destroy, and either LavaSoft Adaware or SuperAntiSpyware. Also AVG AntiSpyware is a great companion to any antivirus. It is the old Ewido Trojan hunter.

Use Internet Explorer ONLY for trusted, known sites, Firefox or Opera for surfing.

If using a POP3 mail client, and not bound to Outlook for PIM or Exchange purposes, use Mozilla's Thunderbird mail client.

Use a webmail service for your internet presence. Yahoo or Gmail from Google seem preferred. Do not give your real email away online to anyone. Use it only for folks you've got eyeball with.

I’ve been using PC-Cillin for over a decade on more than a dozen systems that are running 24/7 on a WAN with zero problems. That is 876,000 on-line hours with no viruses or ad-ware attacks. It is an excellent product.

There's one thing I would add to your list: if you use the official AIM, MSN Live, or Yahoo! instant messaging clients, ditch them for Pidgin.
