Best PC security suite?

I'm a small business owner, no IT team (other than Expert Exchange, THANKS), just bought new thinkpads with win7 Pro. Have Norton 360 on old machines which expires soon. I've researched some of the products myself but now I ask you, the Experts: What security suite do you recommend for an owner like me?

Thanks!

Norton or Symantec are basically same .. the history is Doctor peter Norton has developed binary logarithms for Hard disc and its sectors.. (OLD NDD dos product.. Norton disk doctor) then later on Symantec was a company who obtained rights and then it got commercialized.. but presently its AV product is good but it damages files if it cannot correctly examine it and then effects system files etc.. so I request since you are new and business guy.. don't run behind anything just install best product in the market like Kaspersky or Trend Micro. When these product can survive corporate PCs network very well then for a single pc handling is not a difficult task..

try one month demo product.. if you like go for it or else there are many other products like MCafee, Quick Heal and so many.. take your decision correctly..

Norton or Symantec are basically same <-- Absolutely NOT. Norton is a consumer product and Symantec Endpoint is a Corporate product. Same Live Update, but otherwise SEP is much better.

Following a German IT magazine's latest real life test, Kaspersky is the best, here, Eset and trend micro close behind, Symantec a little behind

I read this article and a couple of others. The top ones are all decent and pick what you think is best. I have been using Symantec Corporate in unmanaged mode for individuals or very small shops and it manages itself.
