yes, try this page matousec.com/projects/firewall-challenge/results.php it have some firewall reviews.
I am currently using Kaspersky Antivirus. And in addition I run AdAware and Spybot. As well as russian-speaking people who only would like to demonstrate their English proficiency.
I suppose that NOD (2.75, not further versions) is good enough for me. It's quiet, can be easily updated (no troubles with key finding for those who didn't like to pay), sometimes finds viruses that kaspersky not, fast enough and have some other advantages. Also I suppose this kind of question is a perfect holy-war.
