I've used both, and the latest version of Norton AV is not bad, I would put it on par probably with Nod32 in general use.
Nod32 has its fair share of detractors too - I've heard horror stories, especially with the corporate version, of Nod saying everything is hunky dory, but there are infections active and running on the same machine (which would put it on par with Norton, ironically)
I'm kinda suprised people are getting infected from movies though - are people getting hit with buffer overrun exploits in the actual movies, or are they getting tricked into running executables inside rar archives of the movies?
I'm on a mac and transcode to h.264 as a matter of course (so if there's an exploit in an xvid that targets a specific player, I'm never going to see it), so I've never really investigated the issue. I wonder if it even is an issue, or if the RIAA just likes people to believe movie files can mess up their machines
