Just hooked up my new PC, should I enable Norton, or go with Zone alarm?

I've heard nightmares with disableing Norton and such, what's your recomendation? I have Norton with free live updates for 60 days, but I can 'get' a license.. should I bother?

Also, if I did not install the online services, does that mean I didn't install the Windows Firewall?

Norton sucks!! I uninstalled it as soon as I got my computer,,, I installed the AVG system..its great and free for personel use...

zone alarm works awesome but sucks too may many system resources and can be buggy

what is wrong with:

use windows firewall
run spy bot every other week
norton full scan every other week
ad aware full scan every other week

I have Zonealarm security suite(stealth mode), does everything, plus I run Spybot...

Run Adaware several times a day

Run SpySweeper several times a day

Run Norton everyday at the end.
Do the manual updates as it will eat too much memory.
Unplug from the 'net and scan.
1st thing in the morning - finish up Norton.
Then plug back into the 'net.

Mcafee firewall/virus suite is the best out there.

ZoneAlarm is good but is not the best.
