52178 2002-06-03 01:22:00 When my PC boots up I am presented with a red box displaying the following:

'NAV Auto-Protec
Unable to inialize the Virus scanning engine database file'

If I click OK the desktop loads but the Norton Icon at the bottom of the screen has a red cross through it and I can not get rid of the cross

I have updated Norton Antivirus and re installed the program (I did not first delete the program in order to keep the definitions)

Can anyone please suggest what is wrong.

I have found in the past that you must delete Nortons before you reinstall. You must also make sure you delete it all. nothing left either by its uninstaller or an uninstaller of your choice. Then reinstall and live update your definitions again. I hope this helps .

52180 2002-06-03 02:02:00 you will need to uninstall nav, delete all files related to nav including some that are in werid places. then run a reg cleaner (such as www.jv16.org) to remove all entries of it.

then reinstall and update.

note you must delete ALL nav file. some are not easy to find.
