Things like AV software, firewalls and spyware tools is that people base their views and opinions around their experiences with the software. I used Nortons for a while and it was a pain in the backside at times, I've also had to clean PCs where it has failed to control infections etc. Other people have no problems with it and it works perfectly out of the box but we all have to realise that no software is perfect and that a lot of infections etc are PEBCAK related, if the PC owner doesn't know how to use a tool then the tool is useless.
