If you all of a sudden think Symantec and Norton are "really bad", you might
be interested in this:
http://news.com.com/Evasion+bug+bites+virus+shields/2100-1002_3-5924738.html
FWIW, I see machines running NOD32 that are infected all the time. A scan
with NAV clears it right up. But what the heck, if you like it and can live
with less security, then go for it.
To the others reading this post...there is nothing to support the claim that
Norton products are
"really bad"...as the OP claims to have learned after "redding reviws" and
then "recomends" a product....evidently he can make recommendations on
security solutions but has no idea on how to use a spell checker.

Interestingly, the NOD32 website (at least the Canadian one) is full of
grammatical and spelling errors too. I know this has nothing to do with
the product itself, but it sure makes a bad first impression and causes me
to question their attention to detail?
Regardless, Norton has never let us down. 2003 and 2004 were a little
rough on system resources, but that was dramatically improved in 2005.
For about 3 months we tried AVG, got infected with [what symantec calls]
W32.Spybot.Worm, AVG was completely unable to detect it but Norton's and
Kaspersky's online scanners picked it up right away.
We get infected emails on a daily basis, sometimes as many as 10 or 15 a
day during major outbreaks. In spite of that, none of the 3 machines we
use here has ever been compromised while running Norton.
Most of the complaints I have heard about Norton have to do with it's
interaction with other software, or install/uninstall problems. We've
never had any problems here with those things, so I can't complain.
