NAV question again

[bentothejam1n]

Some of you remember my NAV thread about a year ago and I finally getting rid of it. I remember Mark saying something about how it is pretty hard to get everything related to NAV off your computer but I was wondering if i didnt get everything off would that affect my new antivirus program? Which will be http://www.microsoft.com/protect/pro...r/onecare.mspx btw

I wouldn't recommend using that.

Worst results out of all the software tested. It's not even funny how far behind it is, I hope you didn't already buy it.

AVG and Avast have free editions that you can use without worrying about your subscription running out.

but the 07 version of NAV "says" it protects against spyware, malware,phishing, id theft, etc. not just viruses like im assuming AVG does

nah not too much. just do a full install and then once that is done run Ccleaner and run it on your registry. it will find all the old Crap and clean it out for you. (set a system restore point before running it just in case).

like others said, go with AVG or clamwin or something like that. I always had real good luck with clamwin and it too protected against mucho spyware.

BTW, norton....don't buy the hype...its crapola and will bring many systems to a crawl.
