If you want the best protection, Kaspersky is it. NOD32 is also good and uses few system resources, BUT at the cost of reduced trojan detection. I used to run NOD32, but purchased Kaspersky this time around. At any rate, both have trials available. Try them both.
Oh, and you're running Symantec, as in corporate edition? That is also an excellent antivirus. I am surprised to hear that it missed a mydoom variant. Are your defs up to date?
