It is a bad joke. I install Norton AV onto my XP Pro system, and it
works for a few days. Then I fire up the computer and NAV is suddenly
not working. I have tried Norton Antivirus 2003 stand alone, NAV 2003
under Norton Systemworks 2003 and Symantec Antivirus Corporate Client
v8.1.0.825. The result is always the same. It works fine, I update,
and then it stops after a few days. Oh, if I uninstall under
Systemworks, I have to delete Systemworks as well, otherwise I can't
upgrade NAV when I re-install it. I always uninstall and then use
Rnav2003.exe to make sure that everything is gone. I know, try
something else. But this seems to be the best for me, when it is
working. However, it missed wincfg.scr the other day, and it was
completely updated. Should I try the Beta NAV or give up?

Give up on NAV! It's a system hog. Less intrusive, cheaper, and a better
product may be found here:

Give up. Use a decent AV that won't cause so many problems. I'd
recommend EZ Antivirus from Computer Associates. Of course for the
money, AVG is hard to beat. As for System Works, give up that crap too.
The only thing I've ever had useful from Norton was the undelete utility
and Ghost.

Ok, I'll try it. Thanks. I want to see if it lasts the 30 day trial
period.

Well, it is two months later, and the problem still persists. It
persists with NAV 2004 and on other computers running XP. So I'm not
the only one who has experienced this problem. I just can't believe
that one of you gurus haven't experienced this problem and come up
with a cause. Sure, I can switch to another AV, but I still want an
answer to this problem.

Well, I couldn't figure out AVG and Kaparsky screwed my system up.
