>I know, not enough pictures, eh? :)

LOL! 

No, just a bit wordy. You might think some computer security geek wrote it
;o) One thing I've noticed in security experts, they never just get to the
point. Very talky-talky, wordy-wordy type people.

>> CA-AV does have a snooze feature built right into the task tray icon.

>>But, unfortunately, it can be locked so that you can't disable it, even
temporarily. At least with V8. That's what they've done here and it can be a
real PITA sometimes. Especially with Pest Patrol running.
>>it considers VNC spyware and won't let it run unless I kill the service
manually and then I have to restart it once I'm done with VNC.
>>Royal PITA.

Yes in the SMB/Corp cersions it can. In the consumer products (which smaller
businesses will use because of the cost savings and/or lack of the proper
infrastrcucture to require or use the SMB line) it can be disabled with no
effort and no knowledge - typically a bad combination ;o)
