Broadband Security?

As part of my urgent recontracting with BT Broadband I have lost/foregone the McAfree security package included in my previous package.
Can anyone please advise what the best alternatives security package is?
Is Kaspersky a reasonable package in terms of reliability/ease of use/price please?
Thank you

I use Comodo for Firewall.
Avira AV for anti virus
Superantispyware, Malwarebytes, Spybot for anti malware
Smartdefrag
Glary Utilities
They are all free and can be easily downloaded from Filehippo and elsewhere
These utilities are as good as anyone will need and don't clog up your computer anywhere near as much as MacCaffee and Norton.It's your money. Except if it's the governments.0 -

Just for some alternatives 'ere. I use:
AVG for anti-virus
Superantispyware for spyware :P
CCleaner to clean out my temp files I do not need.
Never had any issues and never paid a penny for 'em.0
