As a developer, non being admin on our PC would be a mess, as we need to install stuff every now and then. And we're usually acknowledged as techy-savvy enough not to break the system. Though much to my annoyance, we can't deactivate the anti virus. When it decides to run it's scan, using the PC to work is impossible.

I'm an IT guy, so I usually don't have to deal with that sort of restriction. I can (and do) install anything I like. End users normally get Power User profiles which let them run installed applications but not install their own. If they need something not part of the image, they submit a request signed off by their boss explaining why they need it, and someone like me does it for them. Having spent way too much time fixing PCs hobbled by random stuff users DLed/installed, I'm all in favor if this policy.
Which A/V? You may not be able to turn it off, but it sounds like you ought to be able to adjust when it is scheduled to run a scan.
