from my personal experience with norton antivirus 2002, it can cause some rather annoying problems such as lock-ups and the like. for antivirus i chose to get mcafee's program and it works like a charm. i also have ad-aware 6. btw, mcafee also checks for adware/spyware, but it doesn't hurt to have a backup scanner (adaware6) on deck too.

I use AVG from Grisoft.com for anti virus. (updated regularly) I have used Norton and McAfee a few years back, but they caused me system problems.
Zone Alarm from Zonelabs.com as firewall
Adaware 6.0 and Spybot Search and destroy with resident S&D active

All free programs and I have never had a problem yet.

Check your system at ww.grc.com with their system tests to check the security of your system.

I use Ad-aware SE, spybot search and destroy v1.3 and webroot Spy Sweeper, as well as an Anti Virus program, have most bases covered i think...... have Norton corp 9 installed (server does updates and scans my machine) but looking into some other anti virus programs, just to be nosey and compair... i know there is better out there than norton, but at the time of install i had that and nothing else lol....

Kasperky as you Anti-Virus, AD-Aware for spyware, BoClean for Anti-Trojan and sygate for Firewall. TDS3 is the best Anti Trojan but it aint the easiest piece of software on earth to use.
