McAfee at work (7000+ seats) as chosen by our IT department
McAfee and Norton at Home, for AV and firewall - never see a lot of difference, although if I had to choose, I prefer Norton's firewall, but McAfee's AV.
For Spyware, I run MS Defender and Webroot Spy Sweeper. Preference is probably MS, as Webroot seems to have an unusually high processor overhead (noticable when the laptop is on battery).
All machines sit behind a SPI firewall, so that helps as well.
I know free is very good and I don't knock it, but rightly or wrongly, I feel the "pay" products should/are offering something more (other than a lighter wallet
)

Shuttlebus.
