OneCare v Kaspersky6 v ZoneAlarm7 v McAfee

I've been using ZA for several years on my 2 XP PCs. ZA is still not available on Vista. So I began a search for suites for my Vista Premium laptop which came with a 30-day McAfee suite and which ran fine.

I tried the free trials of Kaspersky 6 and OneCare first on my Vista system then extending to my XP systems. Of course, the previous suite was removed before installing the next suite.

I know that Kaspersky is a top-rated suite and that OneCare gets bad reviews. But here is what I've found.

Kaspersky ran well on Vista and XP with one exception: it slowed down my games, in particular, FarCry.

OneCare is running well on Vista and XP. FarCry runs fine.

ZoneAlarm ran well for 2 years -- including FarCry -- until installing version 7. Then FarCry slowed down even in game mode. I think that ZA7 is using Kaspersky virus software.

What have your experiences been with security suites on XP and Vista?
