Security (AntiVirus, Trojan, etc) is a different subject than Backup. You will need several "packages" (e.g. Firewall) to do the job as no "single package" is capable of this. Note that some vendors supply multiple functions in a single package but they do not completely cover everything.

Suggest re-reading the stickies and try for yourself. Some are free, some are pay-for. Pick your own based upon your personal needs as everyone has different preferences (as do I, so I won't recommend, nor will others probably). It also depends on the hardware/OS as well, so....
