I dont keep them turned on, just do an occasional scan. It seems like they are very anal about what is a virus or not, and software I use on my own time with my 100% knowledge of what it does is sometimes classified as a virus.
Such examples include killcmos.c, netcat, superscan.

That's not smart, because without constant protection, you will probably have a virus just slide in there unscathed without being stopped, and you will have a hell of a mess to clean up on. I would not suggest that you keep doing that. Just take a low-footprint antivirus like Avira or AVG and it won't bug you unless it finds something.
i use to use these free security programs..those days are over for me, i now got nod32 for viruses and so far its doing great...i even downloaded a test virus in all file formats (.zip, .exe...etc) it scans the site before i downloaded the file and told me it was a virus and then asks you if u want to continue with download...i think this program is the best in my opinon..and it was even ranked better then those other commercial programs... check it out: http://www.eset.com/
