Re: NAV - a real resource hog


Thanks for the info. Ironically enough my subscription to NAV expires
tomorrow. I'll start looking into removing it and then looking into
either Kaspersky or Nod32.

Thanks.......DrB

Hi...I've been having some real slow response time and I think it's
due
to Norton Anti-Virus. By looking at the Windows Task Manager /
Processes, NAVAPSVC.EXE has a very high amount of Usage - it's
typically between 50 - 75% of the CPU. And normally it's right
around
60-65. Because of this, the System Idle Process is low, low, low.

Is this something that can be looked at and corrected, or at least
improved?

Thank you, DrB

The improvment would be to remove NAV and install either Kaspersky or
Nod32.
Not only do these two require far fewer resources, they also have
better
detection rates.
It isn't easy to remove NAV; you need to carefully follow the
instructions
on the Symantec website.
