This subject cost me years using Norton and CA Etrust! Had this List not
turned me on to eset, I would still be scrubbing my machines. Thank you
List! Eset and very happy.
I did get what I paid for.

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.
