Recommendations:
FIREWALL
-for powerful pcs: GData Internet Security (comes with antivirus and antispyware)
-for less powerful pcs: Norton Internet Security *currentyear* (comes with antivirus)
-for old pcs: NOD-32
ANTIVIRUS
-for powerful pcs: GData AntiVirusKit (comes with antispyware)
-for less powerful pcs: Norton Antivirus
-for old pcs: NOD-32
ANTI-SPYWARE
-for powerful pcs: Webroot SpySweeper
-for less powerful pcs: Webroot SpySweeper
-for old pcs: Windows Defender

Very flawed listing. Norton is not at all good for less powerful PCs, as it is a resource hog. Norton can take up to 200 MB of RAM to run, depending on how you configure it. Same with Windows Defender for older PCs - they'd never run it. GData also is just...meh. I suggest any antivirus product from Trend Micro (PC-Cillin is great and light in resource usage).
