Dear Dos_Command_Com,
First of all, Symantic and Norton are same,meaning Norton A-V comes from Symantec. So,re-phrase your question.

Secondly, you are seeking not independent,unbiased "reports",but individual and thusly "sort of biased" vote,which may not hold water! Individual "experiences" with a particular A-V does matter, but will not stand any statistical analysis.

Thirdly, You have not stated why you are seeking our opinions. Is it for you to make up your mind or just to find out which is rated first and so on?

Last but not least you have left out many highly rated A-Vs which defeats the very purpose of this exercise! You are literally sandboxing us into choosing between the options you gave us! I personally am feeling uncomfortable,to put it mildly!!

Ideally you should also have a 'None of the above' or 'Other' option, so that users of NOD32 (like me) or Kapersky, could register their disinterest in the the listed options!

Dear Togg,
You are reminding me of the nightmares,(Daymares) called Exams where lads like me have to answer such questions called MCQs(Multiple Choice Questions) and you could count me as No.1, if the scores were from below up!. These MCQs have what you said--check the right answer from the options given below:
Whom do you love most?

A)Mother
B)Father
C)Brother
D)Pet Dog
E)All of the above
F)MY Muscles!

Since i like myself most(Narcsism?) and don't have a bro', I would tick (F) and thus the class teacher and my childhood crush,both used to give me the boot
!

I have already posted there. I guess it doesn't matter now, but this thread will probably get locked because there is now a better one.
