I've got McAfee, ZoneAlarms and AVG.
ZoneAlarms is probably my favourite. So user-friendly and seemingly protective

Stay away from Symantec, Norton, and McAfee. I'd get either avast or Avira AntiVir, both are free and are more or less better than Symantec, Norton, and McAfee. And I'd get Comodo Firewall Pro for a firewall. It's free as well.

To quote someone else on McAfee "free is way too much to pay for it."
But yeah, I would really recommend Comodo Firewall Pro. Works like a charm.

To quote the people at Lunarsoft (nice security site):
"Comodo Firewall Pro is one of the smartest firewalls you can ever see. While providing answers to firewall questions, users usually do not understand the complex questions which involve complicated connection details like IP addresses, Ports, Application paths etc. Comodo Firewall Pro helps you to understand what is going on by analyzing each alert and providing you an intuitive, easily understandable Security Considerations section with each question it asks."
