I have to agree. We support several locations, and between them have to deal with McAfee, Norton and Trend, and others.
We generally have more issues with Norton than the others. Not necessarily missed viruses(they all have a few they miss), but miscellaneous system-type issues that go away when Norton is removed. Removing Norton may not be the first thing on our troubleshooting list, but it is near the top. Removing McAfee is further down on the list. Removing Trend is near the bottom of the list(and I'm not sure we've ever found it to be the cause of a problem). The Trend product line is by far my favorite of the "big names," and what we generally move clients to as circumstances allow.
