Agreed. McAfee's retail product is awful. Thing is some vendors have multiple product lines, so you have to be careful to match what is being reviewed/tested against what you're looking to buy. In McAfee's case theres 3 primaries, a retail product, a small business product, and an enterprise product. The first two suck, the 3rd rocks but the only way for an individual user to get it is not legal.
Nod32 definitely rules the retail product space.
