what is the most hassle free antivirus program out there?
Here are the hassles I’m trying to avoid:
* high resource usage (Panda Software)
* a virus disabling the antivirus (Norton)
* Internet Explorer dependencies (Mcafee)
* bad tech support (almost every antivirus vendor)
* firewall or antivirus pop-ups (systray notification is fine)
Ideally, the vendor would have forums, user-submitted documentation and other mechanisms short of contacting technical support to solve problems, and a bug reporting form.
If the answer is Trend Micro, will someone please help me find someone who can support it free of charge without my having to call them? The spyware scan seems inconsistent sometimes finding things sometimes not (2 minutes of each other), it has trouble removing TSPY.SN and keeps popping up to tell me it found TSPY.SN creating what is essentially an infinite loop.
When I boot into safe mode, the product fails to work properly.
Ideally, I would want a security suite.

Could you also comment on resource usage and technical support? Does anyone use Kaspersky or Kaspersky-powered solutions?
