Can't be McAfee as mookdog uses something different and had the same thing happen. <snip>

Yes, it can be.  If it is as poorly implemented as McAfee, it certainly can cause these types of problems.  Making a computer unstable is a trademark of McAfee and Norton.  There are probably others that are just as bad as those two are.  Because of the way the install (over-writting system files) you really cannot disable them entirely.

Anti-virus programs do bad things to Aces High because we are constantly updating config files.

Also, don't forget that virus signatures are often shared among AV providers. As a result, if one program detects a certain pattern as a virus (even when it's done erroneously - as in false positive) then others may suffer the same detection failure because they may have incorporate the same detection string into their own product.
