I agree with much of what you say, but McAfee has been criticised too. I started with McAfee when I purchased my first pc in the late 80s, but then swapped to Norton AV (when it was first released), because I had been using Norton Utilities which, in their day, were great. Symantec destroyed all of Norton's credibility, and unfortunately, McAfee seems to have copied some of Symantec's bad traits.
I am only a new user to NOD32 (a few weeks), but I did a thorough investigation before I purchased it, and two friends who work in PC security recommended it. I would still recommend NOD32 over McAfee, based on the reviews I have already cited, and just about every PC magazine has rated it the best in detection and removal of viruses, root kits, etc.
