What's your opinion? I have a free trial of Norton right now, but I personally have nothing but hatred for Norton. I've been told there're some nice free ones out there (AVG and Security essentials).

Don't use Norton. It killed our old computer, which now sits in our basement, unable to run anything but really old games and word processing programs. Well, actually, it wasn't really Norton's fault, but we didn't like it.
I'm using Security Essentials and Malwarebytes at the moment. I switched from McAfee, and it's only been two days and Malwarebytes caught two trojans already.

Avast and Malwarebytes are great.

I've had some mechanical problems with Comodo, but I've never gotten a virus with it. Same with Avast, but that felt more resource heavy to me.
What are you using for your Firewall?

All I was saying though, was that sometimes you can get security suites that include both of them and thus you don't have to worry about incompatibility or learning to use two programs.
