In fact I have been infected once, and it was too new a virus/rootkit for Sophos to find - but then neither did the other two AV products I tried before deleting it by hand. Sophos were very helpful when I rang them up and had an update the next day.
But I have Sophos through work. I just checked their web site and I think they are only for business, with the cheapest license being for 5 users at £133. So I wouldn't recommend it for a home PC.
