There 'ya go

McAfee and Symantec provide two different versions of their software.
Retail and Corporate.

Norton branded products are retail. Symantec branded products are corporate.

In both cases with Norton AV and McAfee VirusScan it is the retail products that the most
complaints are about. This has to do with the renewal process, licensing and updating.
There is much less problems with their corporate version counterparts.

When it comes to McAfee VirusScan the corporate and retail versions are a world apart.
For example; the retail VirusScan depends upon ActiveX compliant Browser. The corporate
version is based upon a NT Service. With the corporate products there no "account" tied to
updating the software and a registration process.

With those differences, the fact that unknowledgeable computer users use the retail products
and the fact that home computers are the least stable, cause many of the complaints about
the retail products.

On the Norton side, it tends to be bloated and use much computer resources. I had a
notebook where NAV 2005 was so horrible that it was like running WinXP on 64MB of RAM

When it comes to both McAfee and Norton, their user support sucks. This has always been a
problem with Symantec. However, this became a real problem when Network Associates (NAI)
acquired McAfee. NAI has been broken up and the Sniffer division has been sold off and they
have re-trenched and going back to their core service and "McAfee" ways of doing business as
they recognized that as NAI their service sucked.

In the corporate environment you will NOT find the anywhere near the same level of
complaints. However, to the average user there is NO difference between corporate and
retail products. It is just McAfee and Norton.

The fact is McAfee and Symantec AV software are the two most common AV software on US
government computers. The US DoD via a DISA wide contract, has licenses for the entire DoD
for; McAfee, Symantec and Trend Micro AV software. The US DoD via a DISA wide contract,
has the license for Trend Micro anti spyware software.

Now there are free AV applications. Those companies that offer free AV software and offer a
paid, corporate software, are usually limited. For example BitDefender. You can buy the
full AV software or use the free "On Demand" scanner only version. With AVG you can buy the
full implementation of their AV software or you can use their free offering. In this case
the free version uses 80-90% of the functionality of the paid version.

As for monitoring effectiveness of AV. look for ICSA certification.
