Sorry about the earlier blank post.

To each their own when choosing what AV to use, but I've used NSW of which
NAV is part of since '99 and have never had a problem uninstalling it to
upgrade to the next version when necessary. No special tricks were involved,
I just used add/remove programs and it was gone. I'm now using NSW '02 along
with AVG.....no conflicts between them. I will say that trying to use McAfee
and NAV together is difficult at best....they don't co-exist well together.
If one should decide to use two AV programs, be sure to set them to auto
scan at different times at least four hours apart.
