Well – from what I've seen Nod32 is as least as good a Norton at detecting nasties – and it is a hell of a lot faster at doing it. Seems to do ok at the VB 100 as well http://www.virusbtn.com/news/latest_news/index.xml

“but no other manufacturer even gets close to NAV, when working properly.”
This person obviously has never heard of Kaspersky. Or looked at their track record against every known antivirus vendor. If they had – they definitely would't have made this blanket comment.

I must agree Norton, has screwed up my own system and even disabled a clients pc so I urge everyone I talk to not to use there anti virus or Internet security software.

What I can't figure out is why Symantec bloats their consumer version of antivirus. Their corporate edition is small, sweet and to the point. It's has a simple installer, low memory overhead, and it's non-intrusive and easy to configure.
