At an enterprise level, the leaders are all pretty much the same (Sophos, Macafee, Symantec, Kaspersky) - they are all quite good
(actually I don't like the Kaspersky UI, but that's just me:-)
At a home user level, most are actually quite poor. They do the job but are CPU and RAM hogs, so I do advise folks to go with Microsoft Security Essentials these days.
Wow, we're totally on the same page, Rory. My clients are often a little confused when I express that Symantec is fine in the corporate setting (because it is, the footprint is tiny), but abysmal at home. Norton is a huge piece of garbage and McAfee isn't much better.
I've definitely been recommending MSE for home users. It does a very good job, and for free.
