I was using ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm Extreme. Did a good job for a while, was really good at identifying spam, etc.. the firewall portion was pretty solid.
However, a guest plugged in a USB drive and my PC was immediately hammered by a trojan - don't remember the name. ZoneAlarm would catch part of the processes it used, but would not ID and eradicate the trojan itself. Pretty shitty.
I installed ESET/Nod32, and it immediately caught and eradicated everything. It found 5 different viruses that ZoneAlarm never flagged. Very sweet.
Low on resource useage, and it's almost a set it and forget it kind of thing.
