Hi Paul.

Virus checkers do use a lot of Windows resources so why do you need it running all 
the time?

Any file you download or you think is suppect you can check for a virus on its own, 
just right-click on it.

Whose virus checker are you using?

I'm on Win98SE but I don't have the virus checker running all the time. You would 
need to go into the registry to remove it from Windows startup.

I wouldn't have thought that it would have stopped Windows from running though. It 
should run but it would run a little slowly.

As KeithT says you can uninstall it in Safe Mode.
