Which antivirus is the most easy work and Inventor  load quickly files?

At work (Win XP Pro 32-bit) we use Symantec, at home (Win 7 64-bit) I use Avast! Free Home Edition.  In both cases, Inventor files are excluded from real-time scanning.  Both work well with Inventor as far as I can tell.  I routinely forget to disable virus scanning for installation and have had no trouble with either one--  it just takes longer to install.

Excluding Inventor files (.iam, .idw, .ipt at the very least) from real-time scanning is important since Inventor opens a lot of files for a large assembly drawing, for example, and the virus/malware threat from them is extremely low (~0).

The company I work for uses Windows Security Essentials.  I don't notice any problems with CAD files and I don't believe anything had to be adjusted in WSE in order for it to ignore CAD files.

The place where I work however (on contract) uses McAfee.  IRC, they had to set it up to ignore certain CAD file formats, others appeared not to be affected.  I don't believe they had to do anything for Inventor related files but they had to adjust it in order for it to ignore NX related files.

We use AVG here. I couldn't figue out how to except certain file formats, so I had to exclude my whole workspaces. Other than that, though, it seems fine to me. I don't even use any anti-virus on my home PC. I just pay attention to where I go, and what I download. I do use an active script blocker in my home browser, however.
