RE: small business av recommendations

Thanks guys, 
I'm going to test out NOD32 first I think.
Here's a related question which is quite worrying, for me.

In carrying out upgrades for the Symantec AV suite over the past few years,
I found myself wondering whether the hassle and fallout from an
upgrade(often requiring extra patches and problem solving) outweighed the
need to patch. ie, the potential for losing Availability appears to be
higher from the patch itself than it does from the viruses it is meant to
protect my network from. And the fact that it is now an established attack
vector in and of itself makes me feel like I'm chasing my tail.

Does anyone else have similar concerns/experiences?

We use Nod32 for our company and clients, it works great.
Performance and detection rate combination are the best I seen in all AV 
we tested.
The only one that could as good as nod32 is karpesky, but maybe the 
interaction with the user isn't as good.
If you choose nod32 you will not be disapointed with it.
