Well as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Both Kaspersky and NOD32 are excellent products, personally I prefer NOD32 as it's lighter on system resources and for me has the best scanning engine of all AV's. But Kaspersky is very good in it's own right, it also has an excellent reputation so I guess it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. Go with whatever works best for you, I think you're fine sticking with what you've got

Hi Ash.
I wouldn't go for Windows Live OneCare, not got the best reviews.

Personally i'd keep nod32 instead of Kaspersky, in my experience NOD is much better at updates and detecting virus signatures.
Zone Alarm is a good firewall so I see no problems with that

ok thnx for the advice bro, and i personally like Kaspersky coz of the interface's and the user-friendlyness (is that a word? lol) of it... but hey Kaspersky isn't that bad on system resources compared to norton lol :P
But as the Scanning Engine for Antivirus' are better on Nod32 i'll go back with that one

so now, i'll be using
Nod32v2 Antivirus
ZoneAlarm Pro firewall and...
CCleaner just to clean up the odd bits...

P.S - any bad points with the firewall i use?

Yeah never tried Windows Live OneCare so can't really comment on it, but I will say stick with either Kaspersky or good old NOD32.
