    Uninstall it completely then. You can replace it with AVG's free anti-virus
    software if you don't have the original disk or don't want to take the
    chance of having this problem again.

    Actually, I would uninstall it then do a web based virus scan here first,
    just in case you have a virus that gimped NAV.

    If you're clean you can go back to Norton or AVG. Make sure you keep doing
    Live Update over and over until it tells you're done if you're using Norton.

    AVG:
