Norton Anti-Virus never gave me any problems except for when using 
patch, since I am not a developer I don't know wether or not it 
directly causes probs w/ gcc, but I do know that it never had any probs 
w/ javac.  However I recommend against the SystemWorks suite, in my 
opinion it's not worth the money.  DiskWarrior/Plus Optimizer from a 
bootable OS 9 cd seems to do a better defrag job and I've never had any 
need of the other bundled utilities.  Norton SystemWorks for Windows 
is, imho, a truly excellent product.  Sadly the same does not seem to 
be the case for the Mac version.

As a I general rule I always recommend some sort of AV software no 
matter the platform, whether it be Norton, MacKaffee, RAV, or something 
else.  It's no too difficult to remember to kill it either from the 
command line or the Process Viewer application before compiling.
