Blimey, I'm surprised being a NOD32 user that you didn't go straight back
to it. Mind you, one does has to test the water now and then.

I've had to remove McAfee from several customer machines because they
weren't updating properly, weren't warning the user they were weeks out of
date, or had severe resource usage.

I'd avoid the "big name" anti-virus as they mostly concentrate on next
year's shiny new version with bigger warning signs and more vapourware
features, whereas the likes of Eset have better things to do. Like protect
their customers.
