Norton Antivirus. Does its business without ever bothering me. Never buy it from them, always get it from Newegg or such when on sale.
Prices fluctuate but I paid $15 for my last copy and got my daughters for $11

Ha, not really a negative but indeed annoying. And my computer ocd is already off the roof. So I've just stuck with Avast. Used to switch off between the two but now it's just install and forget about it.

Because its a free Microsoft product?
MSE is a great program, it works, its non-invasive, and uses minimal system resources compared to other popular AV software.
If you find it so illogical that it's possible, try it and see for your-self. thumb.gif

Another vote here for MSE (along with Malwarebytes). It really is a great av program. It doesn't use a lot of system resources or any annoying pop ups, it just works.
