I take back the nice things I've said about ZoneAlarm.  I just had to solve an issue with my computer BSOD'ing every few minutes by uninstalling it.

I was freaking out because I was wondering why the laptop that I've owned for less than a month was suddenly crippled by the death screens.

Eset SmartSecurity.

Very easy to configure once you learn it (say, 30 minutes of a learning curve) and compatible with most softwares out there.  AFAIK' it never happenned to me that I had to disable to AV/Firewall to solve an issue.
