Opinions wanted on AV/AMW/Security software

Looking for discussion only on this topic. No active virus/malware removal is needed for my system.

With all the choices out there it's not easy to choose software package to protect our computers overall. there are many specialty products and removal tools too. I'm mostly interested in, but not limiting this to AV and Internet security. Online searches for opinions are often very biased by whomever is publishing the comparisons. I mean really, how can 2 websites suggest that 1 is the best while 2 is the worst, only to find another website suggesting almost the exact opposite?

Many packages come with options such as Internet Security, Anti-phishing, Identity protection, online purchase protection, 1-3 years of updates, 1-3 computers in a household.... it goes on and on.

1 - What A/V software package do you like, and why?
2 - What A/V software package do you dislike, and why?
3 - What OS do you use or prefer for it's own protective qualities, and why?

Thank you. I hope this can help other noobs, neophytes and less experienced folks too.
