Your perspective depends on how these issues have affected you or your company. Lately we’ve had several issues affecting a number of our respected customers which makes us look bad.

Sooner or later every AV company is going to have a signature or software update related issue that affects every user. Both of AVG's recent problems affected a fraction of total users – the first one was about 20% affected, this latest one is only non-English versions of the product. So it's hardly a nosedive... NOD32 had a batch of update-related issues affecting a larger percentage of users over a short time and they weren't bashed to the extent that I hear people beating up AVG.

One of my co workers is pushing hard for us to get Trend Micro but I’m not sold yet so I wanted to gather as much info as I can especially on companies I’ve never heard of. AVG was relatively unknown for a long time, at least it seemed that way. But lately they’ve taken a nose dive. Neil From: Cesare' A.

I came across this one the other day, they claim to take a different approach to detecting malware/virus/spyware and it seems quite inexpensive. They all claim to be the best so I’m hoping for a non biased take on it.
