"never seems to bother me unless its important"
Version: McAfee Total Protection 2013
Pros
doesn't interfere on every little thing you do, easy to install,
Cons
scan takes a while to complete, but at least you know its checking everything.
Summary
I've always preferred mcafee as it has minimum disruption and is very easy to use, can't understand people who say that it is stopping them from doing tasks, I found norton and avg to very disruptive and you seem to go round in circles when your trying to resolve any issues and end up uninstalling whole program, I would choose mcafee any day.
