Yes, AVP from Kaspersky Labs. http://www.avp.ru
It's about the best antivirus software there is. Very light on resources also.

AVG is a great FREE antivirus, though Norton isnt that bad, why dont you like it? AVG - http://www.grisoft.com.
Sygate is a really great FREE firewall that takes up very little resources and dosent bother you with nonsense, but does alert you when theres a problem. Theres also a nifty tester with it that simulates an attack and sees if you are protected. Sygate - http://www.sygate.com/ .
I hated Zonealarm too, screwed up my internet.
Both of these have Pro versions if you feel the need to upgrade.
Check out Outpost at agnitum.com. Great firewall, high ranking at pcflanks.com. I like it, not too big, but really good. Even has a Pro version. Agnitum
For Antivirus, well, thats a matter of philosophy. Norton is great, but has trouble with compressed files. The best actually is from Gdata, according to serious tests. Uses Kaspersky engine for on-demand *and* a second engine for on-access scanning, but that means it uses resources.
I like my old Trend AV-Soft which came bundled with the Fix-It Utilities 4.0
