what is the best anti virus software for WinXP Home Edition?

Ive heard McAfee sucks, Norton was just O.K., and PC-cillin was good but not yet fuly compatible with XP or Outlook Express 6.

Tell me what you know or have experienced.

Norton AV 2002 does what I need, no complaints.

I have 3 computers and use McAfee VirusScan 6, Norton 2002, and PC-Cillin 2000. All work fine with XP. Which one is best is strictly personal preference.
