Is there an AV App that Doesn't Eventually Become Bloatware?

Defenestration:
And it *does* optimize the scanning - until the system is rebooted. The database of scanned files is only kept in memory, not stored on disk.

I started a thread about this over at the official NOD32 forum at Wilder's....

Cool!

I can see a reason for NOT storing on disk, by the way - a virus could intercept this *somehow* and mark all files as "oh, but they're good to go". When scanning takes as long as it does, though, it's invaluable. (I'm on an amd64x2 4400+ here, so it's not like I'm running old hardware. I'm very picky about launch speed, though.)

I find www.bitdefender.com better. I use AVG 6  before, it didn't manage to detect a virus that is zipped within a zip.
