I added Symantec mostly from past experience, haven't used it in years.
Having Free versions (in general) that can really make PC's secure would
defeat the purpose of having paid version, so they always lack
something, mostly real-time application prevention. Once certain
stronger trojans/malwares are incorporated they even stop KIS from
installing in the first place. Not many of them, but I had that
experience, and had to reinstall/format c: partition.
I chose Kaspersky because of two things. Lesser in intensity is that he
is from Russia, with different mindset very close to ours, but turning
point when I started to think about actually paying for the product (at
the dawn of my "legality" awakening) was when Eugen K. came to Belgrade
to receive some award for his product. TV reporter asked him after the
ceremony if he is going to go sightseeing the town, and he's response
was "No. I have flight back in one hour, I must get back to my work."
Also worth mentioning is that there is Kaspersky for Linux Workstations
and Servers, and even for the Mac:
