I've had good luck, too, with AVG on a desktop and two laptops and Avast
on another laptop. I haven't found a way to disable the anti-virus on
AVG for software installs, but so far it hasn't been a factor.

I've had no problems so far, knock silicon. Both seem to be fast,
lightweight and except for AVAST which when the Virus database is
updated announces it loudly over the PC's audio system, unobtrusive.
Oh and both products are free for non commercial use.

Then I'm really pleased I didn't buy McAfee.
Stay the hell away from Symantec's bloatware, too - if you want
your machine to not be chewing up 50% of its CPU just to run
antivirus scanning....

Norton IS a virus, and more destructive than most. I do have to
applaud Symantec though, it's not just anybody who can make a business
model of getting people to pay good money to have their data mangled
and computers rendered inoperative.
To paraphrase Yogi Berra; If Peter Norton were alive today, this would
kill him.
