I'm suspicious of all AV software. It degrades system performance in at least three ways: First, when it is doing downloads of new profiles and second when active protection is enabled and all input/output to the system is being intercepted and third, when it is doing an active scan of the entire system. In some cases these effects may be reduced or avoided by disabling the offending features while listening to music, but this is far from guaranteed. With some AV products a complete uninstall may be required to restore original performance. With the free Windows version for Windows 7, there is usually no effect on audio performance, but on occasion that is not the case and there doesn't seem to be any way of disabling the interference when it is happenning other than waiting for a half-hour or so for the interference to pass.
The usual way to reduce clicks and stutters is to increase buffer sizing and disable power management software (especially processor related). Unfortunately, in many cases using larger buffer sizes will reduce sound quality, so there are tradeoffs.
