If you just want basics, antivirus,etc and not full package look at AVG. My wife ran it for years on WIN XP, WIN 7. She recenly updated to the full package ($39. I think) on Win 7 with no problems.
I use AVG free on my Virtual XP system. Only boot into it a couple times a month when supporting someone with XP. There is also a Linux version of it. I don't use it, I use ClamAv for my email on Linux. I think there is a Windows version of it but I am not sure.
