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.

Norton is pretty hassel free if you've got enough system resources for it not to be a problem. Updates by it self, does the job, and besides if you have a NT OS system resources aren't something you've gotta worry about as much anyway. At least not as much as you do with windows 98, which was a nice OS for the time but basicly screws you over with the OS system resources running out and thus forcing you to restart everytime this happens.

I'd recommend McAfee Security Suite. It is not dependent on IE. It has a real simple User Interface (UI). Norton's UI is not as good as McAfee's but, is a second best. You can turn alerts to the way you want. Standard though, is where a little alert pops up in the system tray and the goes away, (also it does take up about 1/8 of the screen).

For your PC to be OK, you have to protect it from viruses and hackers!

The virus is a small program that attach itself to other files from your computer and can harm your computer, by restarting it, freezing it or even by deleting your files or stealing your personal information.

Try download.com or if you are a comcast customer, they offer free virus software. You could also go to Mcafee.com and I think they offer a free trial for 30 days.
Check if your college has a site license for any antivirus product. Or, better yet, get rid of Norton and get AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic, it's free:

AVG

You can have it either from google pack or try it on yahoo downloads! I am sure about google (they have free version.) but on yahoo, they have trial version only.

Where's Verizon's free antivirus system?

Verizon says they offer a free antivirus system when you use their DSL. Where is it? My family uses it but I don't think they installed the antivirus on.

Where's Verizon's free antivirus system?antivirus protection

get AV from verizon.

Where's Verizon's free antivirus system?computer repair

Verizon offers an Internet Security Suite,

http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp...

but it is NOT free. If you prefer free security software, here are some recommendations from available freeware:

firewall:

Comodo (http://www.comodo.com), or

PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall)

Comodo recently released version 3.0 of its firewall, which adds an intrusion prevention component that's very effective, though it does take time for it to learn your system, and requires some ongoing attention by the user to make sure programs don't get improperly blocked. Comodo is one of the strongest firewalls available, freeware or commercial, according to the independent testing site matousec.com.

antivirus: (listed in order of preference)

Avira (http://www.free-av.com)

AVAST! Home (http://www.avast.com)

AVG (http://free.grisoft.com)
