It eats up cycles when doing it's daily scan. So I schedule it in the middle of the night.

I use the Internet Security version, which seems to cover everything. I haven't had any problems where I've installed it. I have 5 computers on it: they will see in packs, for reduced prices.

What I did was just turn off the scanning of network drives and the problem went away. (Obviously the machine that had the networked drive had it's own anti-virus software)....
