Hi Jim - I don't recommend any non-commercial software by Norton/Symantec
because of it's known interference with the installation and operation of
other, particularly system, software; however, you can find some useful
comparative AV information here:
http://www.virusbulletin.com/vb100/about/index.xml Check both by Vendor and
by Platform.
