This is purely anecdotal, but back when I was doing a lot of Windows sysadmin work (and when viruses were rampant) I wound up tearing through a lot of AV vendors in short order.

Only a handful survived my tests, and now I see them all listed here as European AV vendors. Interesting.

Symantec, by the way, was by far the worst. It got to the point where I would immediately uninstall their products on sight. My favorite was when one of their automatic updates started causing boot failures. That sure kept me busy!
