Hey guys, I was wondering what brand of internet security software would you recommend for the PC?

I am currently using Norton Internet Security 2009, however, I hear some of the other brands are better such as McAfee and Trend Micro? What do you guys think of Norton 360? Its just that I have been using Norton for the past 3 years and so far have not had any problems with their security software, however, I did run into troubles with McAfee, but that was then and it might have changed by now. What do you guys recommend? Thanks.
