I use NOD 32 and have for years; I think all the "major  
players" (Norton, McAffee, etc) are resource hogs. My brother had some  
issues recently with NOD not ID'ing something on his system, but he is  
not technically savvy enough to explain what the issue was, so I don't  
know if it was PEBKAC or a real problem.  He went back to using AVG.

I am fairly "loose" with the sites I will surf to on my XP boxen, and  
barring one malware problem (removed using PrevX), I've had nothing  
get through NOD.
