Antivirus Software - Reviews

After using the product for three years, and rejection of a legitimate
rebate I filed last year, I have decided to look at something other than
McAfee. Once I removed McAfee from my notebook, the machine started to
perform almost as nicely as the day I bought it. Never realized how much of
a resource pig McAfee was. In its place, I loaded a trial version of a
product from ESET called NOD32 system, which seems to consume far less
system resources. I have no idea how good this product really is.

What is the consensus on a good antivirus product? For me, it cannot be a
resource hog like McAfee.
