Is there any reason you _need_ AntiVirus software? In my experience for 
people who know what they are doing, they create more problems than 
solve it. Use a simple firewall to block outside ports (XP built in one 
or kerio), don't use IE or Outlook (firefox and thunderbird are great 
replacements) and don't click  blindly on executable attachments.
If you do suspect a virus, you can always run a virus scanner manually. 
Just don't run it constantly in the background.
