If you simply must run AV, try something more civil like AVG. It at least as the virtue of mostly staying out of the way.
AVG or antivir.de
That is indeed what I almost always recommend to victims^Wusers^Wvictims of Norton's bugware, and I can't praise it highly enough. Small, simple, unintrusive and effective.
Oh, and just to be absolutely clear: it's not just "Not-on" AV, it's absolutely *everything* Norton: their internet security package, their anti-spam stuff, their pc-health-monitoring stuff: the entire suite should be despised with deep prejudice.
indeed.
I regularly get thanked by ex-Norton-sufferers, whose machines I have removed it from and given them something decent like the AVG+ZA combination, and they say things like "Wow, my machine only takes a fraction of the time to startup it used to and everything it does is so much faster and smoother running...."
Somewhen in the nearer future clamav will have FindFirstChangeNotification support. ("on-access scanning")
Technically no major problem, just how to get the config compatible with Dazuko/Clamuko. It's even written by an antivir.de developer.
