Actually I would think of them as more like a Lexus. :)

Yeah, you can keep your Kia. I'll stick to Ford and Chevy. :-)

Absolutely there is a difference. I had a client who was running Symantec
Corporate and experiencing odd behavior on his network. I told him it sounded
like a virus and he assured me his AV software was up to date. I set him up
with a 30 day demo of Sophos and upon scanning his network drives he found
viruses in the first folder it scanned. Viruses that Symantec had missed. It
was the easiest sale I ever made.
Don't just take my word for it. Here is an independent test comparing Sophos to
the majors:

It's the difference between a Ford and a Chevy. Everyone is going to have
different experiences with the products in their environment.
Personally, if I was trying to decide between AV apps I'd stick to the
biggest... McAfee and Symantec. For what it's worth, I used many products when
I was a consultant and found Symantec to have the best product. Like I said
though... Ford and Chevy. It's whatever works for you.

A little off subject but.... I'm currently using McAfee for my domain and users
virus protection and now someone is telling me Sophos is better. Anyone here
use Sophos and can make an argument for either McAfee or Sophos? I like McAfee
but maybe its not the best.
