Anti-virus software
I've had enoug of NAV now, and McAfee ain't much better. What else is there? Any good free ones? (Not AVG, seems to be too many issues)

IMHO you get as good as you pay for with AV software, hence freebies tend not to offer the protection that you get when you pay for something like Norton/ Sophos/ McAfee.
I agree with what you say about Norton though - it's a royal PITA!
I've been running McAfee (the pay to use version) for about 6 months now, before that, Spohos for about 4 years and I'm happy with it. It's nowhere near as intrusive as Norton.

Symantec Client Security, Corperate Edition. Its miles better than the usual retail version. Contains AV and Firewall.
You don't even know it's there, unlike the usual retail versions that drag your system down to a grinding halt!
No yearly subscription is required for the updates, you just need to know where to find it
Send me a PM if your interested

Having said that, never had a problem with AVG when I was running that....for a few years.
Avast was good but seemed very slow and increased boot times (desktop loading)
