Here are just a few comments then I'll quit cluttering your forum:

Like you, am no great fan of NAV but it seems that your assessment of it (“horrible”) is inconsistent with some well-respected authorities. ArsTechnica and AppScout rate it ahead of Kapersky and AVG and PCMag rates it ahead of those two and NOD32 as well. I’ve included some links to their evaluations, in case you’re interested. NAV is one of several that I use on various machines. It happened to be on the machine that I was runing Bit Che on.

In my opinion, Norton 2009 product line is the only acceptable version. All prior versions were serious bloatware. While the 2009 line is slimmer and uses less resources than prior versions, it still lacks top notch Virus detection rates that can be seen in other products. But it is a serious waste of time to debate just how well NAV performs. Bottom line, Norton 2009 is good, but not the best.

Here are some links that are useful when discussing antivirus effectiveness:

Also, it is interesting to note that both PC Mag and PCWorld both have ignored AVG, NOD32, Avast, etc in their product tests. Clearly those "reviews" are biased and have very little merit. Also, the PCWorld must be a joke because they have ranked norton, bitdefender, panda, mcafee (LOL), avira over Kaspersky. IMHO, that is ridiculous.

ColimaSantiago, thanks for your input and continued support of my project. :)

For those of you who are receiving the false positive message from Avast (or Gdata), please see the following thread/post:

Thank you for your attention

MetaphorsBeWithYou:
I am running Windows 7 RC7100 and AM NOT RUNNING NAV OR ANY OTHER antivirus and am getting the "file damaged or infected by virus" error.  I have done about everything one can do as a user as far as research, cleaning, reinstalling.

Any new ideas?
