Best AntiVirus?

Anyways, I don't use an anti-virus; if I need something scanned, I use virustotal.com. I'd like to get a scanner than I could use whenever I wanted, but I haven't heard of one that's just that and doesn't try to take over your computer.

It was an honest typo . I just never bothered to fix it, but instead type out two sentences! C'mon! It's logical!

I wonder why you have all those computer problems o_o....

You can schedule and limit Norton to scan at certain times only.

virustotal only scans one file at a time o_o. Would be a pain if you wanted to scan your whole computer for a virus >>. And it doesn't seem like it scans links, either.

It still has crap that I can't turn off. AVG, for example. I can't even shut it down. I can turn of daily scans, but it still has email scanner, link scanner, all that crap I don't want. All I want to be able to do is SCAN one item, or maybe a few, and that's it. I want NOTHING else at all. I've even googled for a "scanner only" Anti-Virus, but nothing comes up.

Anyways, haven't gotten a virus for years. I have a copy of AVG, McAfee, and Kaspersky waiting to be installed about every month, and after it comes up clean on all three, I uninstall, ;P

(edit) All I ever DO is scan one file. Why would I need to scan my whole computer if I scan every file I download that I don't trust?

Bart, than Norton 2010 is for you! You can turn every single feature off or Download more features and settings off there site for it.

And its not the files that you should be worried about. Last year Google got sued by a company because when the company went to there search engine a Virus downloaded onto there servers and killed half the computers in the company. That happened last year and the virus was on there site for 3 days.

Hackers can put a virus anywhere they feel if they know how to get in. Speaking of witch my friend planted a Virus in Microsoft but it only lasted a couple hours
