Norton Anti Virus: Restart Required

time to read 1 min | 149 words

From Norton Live Update:

Restart Required
Some of the updates that were just installed require that you restart your computer now.  Please save all unsaved data and then press the OK button to restart your computer.

There is just no excuse for this! I don't need to restart my PC for just about anything now, why should I do so just because the anti virus is too stupid to figure out how to do stuff without rebooting the whole system. What is even more annoying is that it does so quite freqeuently, about once a month or two.

Anyone can recommend an anti virus that is less intrusive?
