Anti-Virus reviews

I hope this isn't one of those typical 'which is best' threads, but I'd like some basic information.

I have been using ESET NOD32 v4 for a while now, and it seems good. Though, people have been slating it saying that its heuristics and detection rates aren't that good.

I want an anti-virus that:

-Uses little system resources
-Has a good detection rate
-On-demand scanning
-Real time protection
-Removable storage scanning

As well as other basics like that.

NOD32 seems to tick all those boxes, yet people are claiming that Avira and Kaspersky are better for those requirements. Is there any basis for these claims, or are they just fan boy talk?

Also, are there any reliable anti-virus review websites or articles?

Re: Anti-Virus reviews

I use Kaspersky 2010 but I don't claim it's the best,just that I'm happy with it.
