I've herd NOD32 v4 is a bucket of fail. I'm trying to think if it's worth paying for antivirus

According to someone else, Avira picked up on this 'dodgy' .zip on an external hard disks that had a trojan sitting in it. Apparently NOD32 just glossed over it.

They weren't running side by side, they were on two different installs of Windows 7. I take it Avira was the latter to be installed after the subscription of Eset ran out.

Well thats almost certainly going to be true but its crazy to say NODs cr*p because of one failing. You know yourself that new viruses etc are coming into play every single day and its simply impossible for ANY av to keep up with it all 100%. Ive personally found nasty trojans inside of combofix logs that AVG, Avira AND Kaspersky havnt recognised as such (Possibly do now, but they didnt then). I had to manually remove them using combofix.

I've used McAfee Internet Security Suite on my home PC for the last 3 years. It contains everything (firewall, antivirus, etc.) Although it's a bit expensive I think it's worth it. I've never had a problem and, apart from installing the upgrade once a year, everything is automatic & so I never have to attend to it.

Prior to using McAfee I used shareware/freeware. This also worked most of the time but seemed to need a lot of attention, for example setting up address exclusion lists, "manually" acquiring updates to the virus database, and so on.

Would you say it's any better than the retail version?
