>Hi, the rest of the world has more then these two major brand AV's >though, Try NOD32 from ESET. Bye. Joe: You obviously didn't bother to read my whole message, where I ended with: ---------------- Of the paid AVs, ESET is the one that I would recommend most.. after Symantec's embarrassing heuristic issues this year with Yahoo! Webmail and Google (detecting as Feebs?) as well as their continued bloat.... ---------------- But here's the reality you were missing: you & I know there are numerous solutions, and I've praised several here in the past (including ESET, which I mentioned Directly in the email you responded to). But in the common place, the general joe-sixpack doesn't go hunt for ESET. They go with what walmart or target has on the shelf. And that isn't ESET. (Sorry!) More then that, whether we like it or not, McAfee & Norton have name-brand recognition within the field. I personally drink Dr. Pepper and prefer Caribou Coffee Hot Chocolate. But I recognize that Coke/Pepsi and Starbucks are much bigger names in the marketplace. They have brand recognition. The same is true of those products. Just the way the world works.
