I wonder if the guy just didn't have EZ configured right.
mmm.. I wonder if he had the real time protection on?

Incidentally even if he did have EZ configured correctly, this type of behaviour would not be confined to EZAV - half the network at work became infected with a worm (don't recall which one - travels over network via SMB and only affects Win95/98 machines, not a terribly destructive payload, systems should have been patched ages ago but weren't) about 4 months ago. Again it was only AFTER a machine became infected that McAfee and Norton actually tried to do anything (essentially to say 'hey there's a virus on your system').

Personally I've never had a problem with EZ AV as a standalone product - it's been used on my home system in conjuction with ZAPro, Outpost, Sygate or WinRoute at one time or another.

I've also d/l the freebie - bit disappointed to see the firewall is an older version of ZAPro though (current version is something like 4.5) so probably shan't use EZArmor as a whole but will continue to use the AV portion
