Re: Windows XP Pro and Norton Antivirus 2005


It sounds like your NAV might be a tad broken. Hope it is still working

to protect your computer. When the subscription expires, I don't
recommend you upgrade to NAV 2007 but rather suggest you use a better
and less bloated/invasive antivirus. Recommended programs are
Kaspersky,
NOD32, Avast, and I use F-Prot 6 on my Windows machines.

In the meantime as a workaround, open NAV and disable the MS Office
plugin. That option is somewhere in NAV's preferences.

Many thanks, Malke - very helpful. NAV is about to expire very soon.

Cheers
