Net Surfer RRP is 99.95.. u can sell it cheaper if you like of course. I think Saratoga do it for crap all if you buy in volume. Same with the OEM's. like $16 a pop i think they were.
However i liase daily with CA, Symantec, Trend, McAfee and F-Secure and i have vendors pushing their products down my throat all the time.
Keep in mind, APC is a consumer magazine, written by consumers, not IT professionals that actually have a clue. VET is a Consumer box product, Norton is a consumer box product (and a crap one to boot), McAfee VirusScan 10 is a consumer box product (also rather crap), PC-Cillin is a consumer box product (worst of the lot)
My suggestion is based on a product for a Consumer price point, thats based on the architecture of an enterprise product (VirusScan ASAP uses a VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i engine which is tied in with ePO for centralised control at our end).
VET, no matter which way you look is not eTrust (which runs more of the Inoculate engine than VET..)..
VET DAT's are up to a week.. most of the time 3-4 days. But have been known to go up to a week. They are automatic, but only check when you tell it to check rather than immediately pushed out the second the vendor releases it.
I know it scans System Volume Info, but it doesnt remove stuff from there. It just tells you its there. ISTbar is one javascript exploit that VET doesnt block for example and is present on about half a dozen crack sites.
For the average home user, yeah its not such a bad product.. but its far from bulletproof
