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.
