| 451531 | 2006-05-02 12:42:00 | i found Norton Antivirus and internet security that i brought but didnt install, so i did this and got rid of Avast! Professional 4.6, NAv auto protect wont come on no matter how many time i smash the enable button, and when i hover over the systray, the relevant icons dissappear! should i go back to Avast! and how do u remove NAV? ther aint no uninstall in programs or control panel | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 451532 | 2006-05-02 16:33:00 | When you uninstalled Avast - did you make sure it was cleared from the registry? alot of Anti-viruses get a deathhold on your os via the registry...check that out. | TiJay (6055) | ||

It is a good idea to clean the registry after uninstalling software; especially if you are going to install an alternative. The FREE 'Easy Cleaner' is good. You can download it here,_ personal.inet.fi Installers alwalys recommend dissabeling all running programs before starting: usually not nessicary, but with the more complex programs it is sometimes needed. Even moving the mouse can spoil an instalation sometimes! I recommend that you run a registry cleaner, then restart and install NAV again; Don't wory about uninstalling NAV first. Defective files will be overwritten. |

| 451534 | 2006-05-02 23:24:00 | i would dith nortons and go back to avast. i'm not sure how much longer your ver of nortons is suported and concidering the great amount of trouble people constantly have with nortons it seems to be more trouble than its worth. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 451535 | 2006-05-02 23:41:00 | I agree with tweak'e, Nortons, IMO and many others, is a pile of dung. If you want a very good paid AV client, go with NOD32. You'll need to be very thorough getting rid of Nortons though, it hangs on for grim death. Apparently there is a Norton's (un)installation cleaner available from Symantic, but I have no idea how thorough it is. |

Nortons came installed on my laptop, I kept it until the subscription ran out, then went to NOD. I shouldn't have even waited for it to run out first! |

| 451537 | 2006-05-03 00:15:00 | Nortons NIS is a terrible piece of software. We have it installed on three workstations (boss thought it would be a good idea) and have the same trouble with icons disappearing, random Nortons errors popping up etc. I just leave the damn thing alone, I think it is still protecting files and we're behind a firewall anyway. Personally I use NOD32, far lighter and faster than the bloated Nortons crap. |

| 451539 | 2006-05-03 02:17:00 | Oxymoron alert. ;) Definition: An oxymoron (plural "oxymora" or "oxymorons") (noun) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms (e.g. "deafening silence"). Oxymoron is a Greek term derived from oxy ("sharp") and moros ("dull"). Oxymora are a proper subset of the expressions called contradiction in terms. What distinguishes oxymora from other paradoxes and contradictions is that they are used intentionally, for rhetorical effect, and the contradiction is only apparent, as the combination of terms provides a novel expression of some concept. You must have worked here as well Murray ;) |

| 451540 | 2006-05-03 04:14:00 | the NAV installation froze when i did it so naturally i restarted the pc, it seemed to work fine, i tried reinstalling but it keeps telling me to uninstall before continuing cant do that as there is no entry in add/remove programs! NAv is slowing my super fast p4 3ghz HT down! | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
