Security Suites: Solid & Non Memory Intensive?

[xenithon]

Hi all. I just wanted to ask for your suggestions on good, complete internet security suites which don't hog too much memory or slow the system down too much (Windows XP).

I have been using ZoneAlarm 6.1 and it has been working very well, but wanted to find out what else is out there which may be a good choice for my new build. I recently tried the new ZoneAlarm 7 and it is terrible - new architecture hogs insance amounts of memory. Ditto on Norton 2007.

Currently only looking at complete suites as opposed to piecemeal bits of software (i.e. separate AV, firewall, anti-malware etc.). Considering Kaspersky Suite 6, Trend Micro Suite 2007 and McAfee Total Protection (though I have heard it is quite memory intensive too).

Cheers,
X

I must say Norton Internet Security is quite good, I've used it for 30min and I was impressed.

*wince* Norton sucks resources, and destabilises machines.

Please dont use Norton's.... it owns your machine in so many bad ways. Recommended suites would be Trend Internet Security or the Nod package. For a free option try Avast.
