Need to find a replacement for Norton Internet Security

My Norton Internet Security 2005 expired. What other firewall/antivirus suite (not Symantec) is the best out there? I read good reviews on Nod32 antivirus, but I'd still need a firewall. Thanks for any advice.

I'm very satisfied with NOD32 and Outpost Firewall Pro.

I think AVG is a nice free Virus Scanner

But if your willing to pay ive heard V.E.T. is a good Antivirus and i quite like Windows OneCare *-)

NOD32, it wins all tests, are fastest. Doesn't have the best design though. I recommend it!

The problem with Windows Firewall is that it only controls inbound connections, not outbound. I've read that Vista's firewall also adds outbound control, but I'm using XP.

Zone Alarm is tacky. Use it if you want a placebo effect on internet security.
