"I use my PC to earn a living. Keeping it virus-free and spyware-free is imperative."
Pros: If you believe that Norton or McAfee must be the best simply because many computers have these programs pre-installed, you are probably in for an expensive awakening.
Cons: A Full Sweep with Webroot's Spy Sweeper with Anti-Virus can take a couple hours, and should be scheduled while you're sleeping.
Summary: I've tried Norton, McAfee,Trend PC Cillin, and Panda. So far, SpySweeper w/ anti-virus is the best.

"I've used it for years, seems to work fine"
Pros: Nice UI, easy to work with, seems effective
Cons: Maybe a little slow to load when you logon
Summary: I'm running version 5.3 on my home PCs. I been using various versions for the past couple of years and have never had any problems or compatibility issues. Full antivirus support when it comes will be nice, then maybe I can uninstall NAV.
