Of course, as every article will tell you, the main thing is not what AV you are running. There are lots of good ones out there. The main thing is to ensure that your definitions are kept up to date. Otherwise they are all equally useless.
I did run one that used some form of heuristics to try to isolate potential viruses for which it did not have a formal definition. It causes chaos, identifying about one in 10 files as potentially infected. So I gave up on that route and now just keep my auto-update running.

Plus you can get bulk licences (or could last I checked) so it is MANDATORY for all personal pcs that they be running sophos if the owner wishes to connect them to the company net. We just give them a cd and tell them they MUST install it.
