Age old question:which is the best Antivrus program?

would you believe this graph? http://www.eset.com/products/compare-NOD32-vs-comp... Is this just a sales pitch or can the results be manipulated by what type of viruses,trojan or worms it can detect.

As we all surf different site etc, I maintain "when your on a good thing stick to it" Norton's only let me down once in 7 years of use.I am not a fan of freebies an I believe you pay for what you get. So if you were to believe the graph Nod32 is tops and AVG is the worse? People always have an opinion on antivirus.

I am doing an IT course and this came up in the line of research to which is the best and what you would sell a customer as an IT technician? Look forward to hearing some feedback.

P.S. I have already done this cahapter so your not doing homework, just healthy debate?

Update:

Keith is about the only one who looks like he has done research. Norton's 2007 was the 1 that let me down but i think they have lifted there game

    My favorite way to find the best antivirus, is to google best antivirus.

    Go through several of the reviews from that search to find the antivirus that rank high often.

    Lately, eset.com is one of the highest rated. Several friends, guru buddies and I have used it for years.

    Norton fell away years ago when it became bloatware. It will slow down your pc and introduce a host of problems.

    McAfee too, too fat with too many processes taking up memory.
