| 189723 | 2003-11-07 08:46:00 | I'll probably be in trouble for saying this, but........ Have you tried uninstalling NAV and re-installing? You might find you get a free years sub. It works when you re-formatt, so worth a go. |

| 189725 | 2003-11-07 08:50:00 | Latest version of norton doesn' do that anymore,the program needs to be activated the same sort of way XP does. And i tried ignoring it and it was crippled to 3 months..... |

| 189726 | 2003-11-07 08:57:00 | Does NAV use Cdilla? I you find a strange little entry in your registry that goes something approximately like C0fy5, thats it and, deleting that won't do you any good. Cheers Murray P |

And you don't think that it has already been hacked by the crackers? All things like that do is annoy the cr*p out of the people that actually buy the software legally and those that priate it don't care because they get round it anyway. Thats why I have not upgraded to 2004 and probably won't. I will stick with 2003 which from the looks of things does not do much less than 2004. |

| 189730 | 2003-11-07 14:20:00 | Not quite,i installed it on a clients pc. :D Which is why i had to backtrack real quick when i realised i had crippled his 100 dollar software to 3 months. As far as im concerned the best thing you can do to a system running nortons anything is to format it......... |

| 189731 | 2003-11-07 15:23:00 | Well AVG seems perfectly adequate to me . I think tho that Norton's is really the best AV software around - whether it's worth the costs tho is another thing . I've never had a virus or trojan or any other crud, and all I use is AVG - but I think that my carefullness is the reason . The only time I really rely on an anti-virus programme is when I've downloaded a programme, or when I accept a floppy or CD with stuff from customers - a quick scan, then I feel safe . |

| 189732 | 2003-11-07 17:59:00 | Another way is to sign up with an ISP that scans all mail. My Nortons has not found a virus since Ihig removes them all first. | JJJJJ (528) | ||
