ZDNet can say what they like, however according to Virus Bulletin, it (NOD32)
is one of the best. Besides, my advise flows from the fact I have first hand
experience using and deploying Symantec AV for over 5+ years within various
large to very large enterprises and can testify to the problems inherent in
that solution. Unlike ZDNet and Gartners of the day, I am not a marketing guy
but a seasoned technical professional who has learned the hard way on how to
separate the marketing hype from the grounded realities in evaluating and
deploying solutions. To that end, I choose to stick with NOD32.

And let's face it, it is not a matter of opinion only, there's no harm in
giving NOD32 a fair go and see for yourself whether it stacks up or not.
