Sometimes the AV appears dormant when it's still scanning (and just 
suppressing the messages).  Depends on the AV, but some don't actually 
stop scanning until you uninstall them.

Also, I've noticed that my AV doesn't show up as a separate process when 
scanning.  Something to do with the way it hooks into the OS, it latches 
on to the process that is doing the file manipulation (I believe -- I 
haven't investigated this).

A good test if you have the time is to get a fresh load of Win without 
any apps and install only CVSNT and try it there.  In my experience, AV 
takes a LOT of process power.  Fresh loaded Windows runs TONS faster 
than one with AV loaded.
