IMHO, it's kind of a crap shoot.  I moved from McAfee to Trend Micro's 
PCCillin (?) when McAfee got bloated and slow.  After two year Trend 
Micro was following McAfee so I went with Norton, because I got it free 
from my ISP.

I have removed Norton and re-installed it on my home machine to solve a 
problem.

I have remove McAfee and reinstalled it on my neighbor's machine to 
solve a problem.

We dumped Trend Micro at work about 18 month ago because of server 
problem (I'm not the networking guy so can't be more specific,

That said, I run Norton on my desktop at home and Avast on my laptop.

Now I suspect this didn't help you at all, other than to say I have 
suffered the uninstall, reintall pain.
