PCs, Macs, software, viruses, highjackers. It's all here.

I don't know if this will exactly fit your needs...

... I ran and hated Norton for a few years then switched to MacAvee which was even worse. I read an article in one of the UK (that's where I am)PC mags which tested a number of competing protection systems and found both of the above almost useless in effectiveness, loads of viruses/spyware were not spotted. They did find that AVG is good (as per other posters to this thread) but equal was Kasperski Labs.

I bought Kasperski and have been knocked out with it. Updates overnight? forget it , Kasperski updates several times a day. Plus (here in the UK) they have a contact facility operated by real people, not just a mechanised response, which is here in the UK - not an Indian call centre.

To your main point; it won't scan the system (except for incoming) unless you instruct it to or schedule it to.

I don't know what the USA situation is for this but if you don't mind buying Russian and the backup is as per the UK - top stuff.
