   Not sure there is a best–for all systems, all times, and all users.
   Also, I am not a fan of all-in-one security packages.
   You need a firewall, an antivirus program, and spyware protection (detection and removal at least; some provide real-time protection as well).
   You can research alternatives at download.com. For each type, rank search results there by Cnet editors’ ratings and read their reviews for their best choices; also rank search results by users’ reviews, because editors don’t review everything. (To sort search results there, just click on the corresponding column head.)

   Avast is the second best in the world. I can’t speak for the one they call the best because I don’t have it, but Avast is wonderful!!

   The new ZoneAlarm Suite is a good one. It combines ZoneAlarm Pro firewall with Kaspersky anti-virus.
