Which Internet Security Suite do you recommend?

There are so many Internet Security Suites out there. Does anyone have a good recommendation on a good one?

I was thinking about getting either Norton Internet Security 2010 for $19.99 or Bitdefender Total Security 2010 (also for $19.99).

They seem to have good reviews from what I've read. Are these good "security suites"? I'm mainly looking for an antivirus, firewall and spyware program.

Additionally, I considered free AVs, firewalls & spyware. The only reason I have reservations is because they're free! Are the paid for ones really safer/better than the free ones?

Another reason I didn't want to go the "3 free programs" route is because I'm afraid of having compatibility issues. Will the firewall from AlarmZone work properly with AVG, etc?

Also, will installing & having 3 separate programs run bog down my PC more than an all-in-one type security suite?

From my "research", I found the best bang for the buck to be either Norton or Bitdefender.

Now, when I say "research", I mainly googled internet security suite reviews and did some reading. Here are a few websites I read:

Its sort of like cars, nobody can tell you which is the "best one" for you. Its up to user preferences, what you are used to and the level of protection you need and the type of protection you need.

Everyone has a favorite, and everyone thinks that their provider is "the best". There's nothing wrong with that though.

There are some that I would avoid, like Norton, Symantec, Macafee products. They are slow, very difficult to uninstall (if you would need to in the future), miss things, give false positives, arent user friendly, and are a strain on available computer resources.

But there are people who swear by some of those companies. Again, its up to user preference: what you can afford, an interface you like, resource freedom, etc...

Eset Smart Security
Kaspersky Internet security 2010
