I am, as well, IT. Hence the screen name. lol
With over ten years of experience, I have learned a lot.
And, in the past 5 years, I can say that Avast AV is next to useless.
Norton is better than McAffee, who is above Avast and AVG. Trend Micro is about in par with McAffee. The problem with Norton, is that is uses to much of the System Resources. Not only is it to 'Clunky' on the OS, it is also rather bothersome with its updates and notifications. And its cost...
That all said, the AV I use personally, on all my servers and net management, and recommend to all my customers is Vipre.
At half the cost, 1/10th the resource usage, ease of use and 'quietness' of notifications, you cannot get a better deal. Not to mention it is an AMERICAN company.
