You've obviously never had your license plate swapped by thieves with a stolen car similar to yours. Contrary to popular belief, all criminals aren't stupid. 1 - steal car 2 - drive directly to mass transit parking lot in middle of the work day 3 - cruise around to find similar looking vehicle 4 - swap license plates. I have no idea how long I drove around with "stolen car" plates on my vehicle, but I can just imagine what would have happened had I been pulled over because I was flagged by some license plate reader. Wouldn't that be fun to have the cops storming my house because my car was parked in my driveway....

Harness the power of the /. collective by reading all the replies to my post.
Granted, that doesn't always work - since not every post attracts a useful cross-section of opinions, but I now know what products I should go look at if I decide that AVG isn't cutting it.
 
It's definitely a step up from Norton in terms of detection rate ... which I can confirm with a sample of 2 out of 2 machines being "clear" according to NAV, and infected and cured according to AVG.
