I use ZoneAlarm firewall (and now ZoneAlarm PRO) on my machine and my better half has AVG free antivirus and ZA firewall on her 'puter.
ZA is great... the last time I had norton internet security installed I had the devils own job of allowing internet sharing and access- it used to forget my rules as and when it felt like it.
Since getting ZA (both my previouse freeware version and my paid for PRO version) I have had no trouble at all. Does the job, has kept out viruses and other nasty stuff. Only thing to remember with the free ZA firewall is that it will not allow ICS - internet connection sharing - using one machine as a gateway to others on a network; you need ZA PRO for this.
I also have Norton Antivirus 2005.
