The Norton 2010 suite had been getting good reviews, and they are saying the hooror stories of past versions are now a thing of the past and it is now a good product worth buying.

However, I would still avoid Norton because of the huge footprint it installs into the PC and the amount of resources it uses when running. Not nice. I still like Kaspersky the most and use it, but you said you don't like that due to a bad experience... so maybe if you do want a commercial security suite you could try it again.
