I am very pleased with AVG. It's from www.grisoft.com. They have a free version which is good, but after I'd had it a while I went for the subscription version. Very good. An update takes seconds. There is one automatic one a day and then I signed up for their email notification and I'll get another, or even two more, in a day and take less than a minute to re-update. Businesslike and very responsive and helpful.
We have about 20 residents of a Sorority running it on their computers, the latest version, daily updates, and they still manage to become infected every couple months - the last one was a trojan.flood virus that AVG missed - spammed their house network so badly the router could not handle the traffic and shut-down.
I've never had a customer with Symantec Corp Edition or even Norton AV product on their system compromised, and that includes the other residents of the sorority at the same location.
AS for removal of Symantec, do add/remove progs, run RNAV, RNIS and Symclean, search for and delete and symantec directories on the disk(s), then do the same in the registry tends to knock it out.
Care must be exercised if you have a SYSWorks package that includes that hideous goback product.
Cheers,
