Welcome to IWETHEY!

New They all do that.
We've got McAfee Active Virus Defense (blurgh, you Americans and your butchering of my language), comprising VirusScan Enterprise 7.0, Groupshield, ePO, etc., and that installs a couple of filesystem-level drivers (specifically I'm thinking of NAIFSREC.SYS). It's the only way you can have on-access scanning without killing the performance of the machine.

Sophos and whatever Kaspersky Labs product is called do something similar.

Norton Antivirus home edition is a horrible piece of cack. The corporate version is much more reasonable. I'm not particularly enamoured of the whole Live* thing, though. The engine is more-or-less the same, but the corporate edition is clearly aimed at grownups, whereas the home version (Norton Antivirus 2003?) is clearly aimed at the under-10s market segment.

New Well, I use Command Antivirus . .
. . which I've found far easier to handle than the big names, and it hasn't done anything weird on me yet. It's not that well known (which may be good since some worms now attack the big names) but I notice a number of universities use it.
