There's no need for commercial Anti-Virus really anymore, especially for home PC's.
I agree, Norton and / or McAfee do nothing but suck up the majority of the host machine's resources and become a royal pain in the ass. There's no benefit.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials and it's been fairly solid. And unlike Norton or McAfee, it does its job quietly until it needs to alert you of a danger.
Gray_Area:
I use AVG. I used Norton some years ago, and found it hogged resources. Especially at start-up, I think it by default checks the system, which could be the result of your slow boot times.
