I think it just comes down to, are you smart enough for PC's..
I mean, most guys don't really get Virus's anymore..
Then again, my dad got one the other day and came to me asking if "Antivirus 8" was any good because he was about to pay for it..

I honestly think picking up one REPUTABLE AV that ISNT in stores would suit you best.
Take nod32 for instance (I love my copy...), I mention it in school, and everybody is like "DOODZ WUT U SMOKING? MCAFFEE IS DA BEST DAWG".. (I hope nobody uses McAfee here..)
It's just like what BrianG said. (or how I took it)
The more reputable something is (or popular), the more heat it's gonna get.
Things get by Norton and McAfee all day long, since the writers actually can bypass it. Whatever is used in the mass, they can get the biggest hit on.
Since nod32 is like Linux/any other distros, the writers don't really care whether or not their shenanigans can get past the other-name'd AV's/Malware catchers because the majority of the people don't use the other-name'd stuff.

Second, I think as long as you're not browsing pr0n (the sketchy stuff anyways), you're most likely safe from malware/virus's that includes clicking those random links that "magically" appear in your email inbox..

Oh well.
