BlackIce firewall is one of the best available. It even catches brighthouse (My cable provider) scanning Ports on my router for Peer-to-peer server issues and what they deem to be Denial of service attacks. (Me trying to constantly ping my own companies servers acrossed the brighthouse network using a macro full of traceroutes and extended pings ect). I was doing this to prove that the companies Network service provider was stuffing more packets into our bandwith space than they were legally allowed to do. At 12 midnight the Bandwidth dropped 50% as they sold non-peak time to others cheaper that I was paying for 24/7 bandwidth.
Norton is what I use and other than slowing down the overall computer response times it works real well for me.
Peter Norton selling his good name to Symantec was a horrific thing as Symantec Fu**'* up every thing that company touches.
What norton is not good at is removing virus that already resides on a PC before the program is installed. Other than that it is just a slow old virus protection program. I do not use the suite of programs just the AV/SPYWARE.
