Have you used it? It has caught malware on my machines that many of the
other popular anti-spyware tools missed...
That test link someone provided also shows it does a nice job at
anti-malware.
So, care to qualify your statement?

I can confirm.
SAV-CE is a completely different codebase from the crap consumer grade
stuff
that is Norton branded.
10.0.2 is taking 33MB of memory on thix box (I have 2GB), which I don't
consider very bad.
I still argue it is among (if not the) best AV scanner available--it just
isn't available to the average consumer. Most people (for good reason)
hate
the Norton consumer stuff, and assume that the corporate stuff is
related...but nothing could be further from the truth.
Interestingly, I've heard that SAV-CE10 also is the most effective malware
scanner out there--but it runs slower than anything else at this task.

The latest Symantec AntiVirus corporate edition client (10.0.2.2020)
takes
about 30MB of memory footprint these days. It does however do a much
better job than the retail home user version (norton), however it will
get
more false positives.

Norton is definitely not even close to kaspersky in detection accuracy.
Not to mention that it seems to be more resource heavy. Always hated
the startup time degradations with Norton. Much improved after I
switched to Kaspersky.
