I could say the same for the Norton products. Been using them for years with no problems (using 2004 at the moment and it works really well). A friend has McAfee and she has had a lot of problems with it (not auto-updating properly, not removing virus infections such as mydoom from the machine etc), but I think that's probably more down to her particular machine than the antivirus software.
Basically from what I've heard, there's not a lot to choose between them.

PANDA. 10outof10 do a lot of pc repairs and use the online ACTIVESCAN from panda to check for infections.
usually finds stuff on systems which have norton and mcafee installed(and updated).
so i always recommend panda titanium or platinum.

n one, it'll stop your machine from becoming victim to a computer virus or more importantly will stop your machine contributing to the problem of computer viruses which are passed from machine to machine.
