Especially when the frilly crap likes to generate popups! Damn symantec...
I built my computer from scratch, as hitech is currently doing, and i only have about 6 icons in my tray (4 currently visible, 2 inactive); AVG, LAN, WIRELESS, and SOUND. When i turn my computer on, i only get 1 popup per day, and that is avg. No "SUCH and Such update is available" or "Click here to register this blah blah blah", or, in bundled computers cases;
"Click here to register this piece of software that you didn't even want in the first place, but we included it anyways, just so we could kill your boot time, use up all of you hard drive space, and reside in memory so you can't do anything useful on this computer! IT IS FREE!!!!!!!!! (except for the $50 activation fee...)"
