A good AV will allow you to continue to work while scanning is going on.
You may also want to split your hard drive into several smaller drives.
You could then put archived documents and pictures on one of those
separate drives, and exclude it from the scanning process.

I agree with you Gary, but I don't know of any AV that will let you reboot in
the middle of a scan so that I can continue installing other software.

Regarding the seperate drives instruction, I will do that. But every so
often, even Kaspersky wants a complete scan so that I'm not constantly being
reminded that I'm at risk because "a complete scan hasn't been performed in
xx days". Now that drives E: and F: have been scanned, I won't have to
rescan them until I start adding files to them instead of removing files.
Drives B:, C:, and D: still took over 5 hours to scan. At least that can be
manageable while I sleep.

No need to reboot after each install. Reboot after you have finished
installing all of the programs.
