Meh! AntiVirus Software
Having become infected a while back with a Trojan that Norton missed, I swapped over to NOD32 and now find that Panda scan picks up three whereas I did a full in-depth scan with NOD a few hours ago.
Are all antivirus products universally ****e or is there one less ****e than the others? BTW, AVG didn't pick any of these up either.

It's all down to how recent the viruses are. If they're very new or very old, they're all ****e.
NOD32 is supposed to be one of the best and Panda isn't rated very highly. What does that tell you?

Avast is my AV of choice. Works well, auto updates itself every day when I switch my PC on. Hasn't missed anything yet (that I'm aware of). I recommend it

NOD32 usually updates several times a day (or at least it has been doing that recently).

If you leave the PC alone a while it does that. Just click the X on the bubble until they're all gone.

AVAST for the win
Incidentally, I've had a sales rep call me from AVG asking if I could exclusively sell AVG with commision.. I'm not sure that's a good idea tbh.

Particularly when the customer finds out they could have downloaded it for free.

This is true but I've found that some people would see "free" as "no-good" and are quite happy (for some reason) to pay for Norton, for example. It's the same for PC repairs, people pay double the price because consumers confide in a brand name they are familiar with. People are fickle.
