    I think if you use NOD32, AVG or BitDefender you won't have any trouble. There is a long thread about the pros and cons but I'm struggling to locate it.

    The main gripe I have with the normal versions of Norton and McAfee is their want to control everything and love of system resources.

    I believe the business version of Norton is much nicer when it comes to the above problems.

    I use Symantec (Norton) Antivirus corporate edition. Its unobtrusive, very light on resources and completely nag-free.

    I read a review of AV progs and NOD32 didn't do well at all, I still like it though.

    No glove, no love is normally a good option. Unless you are in a long term committed relationship.
