There is a real simple solution to this little problem. Use Avast as main scanner and as backup use online scanners. Or boot from a Norton cd (or any other bootable av cd) and scan from there as backup.

Why is it always me that comes up with brilliant ideas like this?  ;D ;D ;D

The only problem with this option is that you wont have up-to-date virus definitions.
