Norton AntiVirus 2004 SUCKS!
-
At work we are running NAV Corporate Edition on NT, 2000 and XP - no problems at all. At home I have NAV 2004 on XP - no issues. Igor.

Yeah same here. I've never had any problems with NAV. It takes a little while to load, but after that there's no problems at all.

yah, norton antivirus 2004 sucks, it makes almost every file on my computer corrupt :mad:. Of course this might have been aided by upgrading to xp pro, but I mean this is too much. Anyone out there with my view about this horrible program? EVIL_ONE
I did a test on my system and did a full scan with NAV and it took over 2.5 hours and did not find any at all. Then I put the demo version of NOD32 on my system and it scanned the entire thing in 25 minutes and found some viruses in an old mail file. Needless to say, NAV is no longer on my system.

same here. I pay a bit of a speed penalty because of it but the piece of mind I get from it far outweighs that. Just one of many things I do to secure my machines. I like NAV.

I managed to consistently make XP bluescreen with NAV2004 installed just by right-clicking a folder in Explorer. If I disabled NAV, the machine worked perfectly fine. With NAV 2005, I got BSODs caused by SYMIDS.SYS up to 6 times a day. The instant I disabled NAV's "worm protection", the problem went away. This is on IBM workstations. 2 of my coworkers have machines identical to mine, and they're all seeing BSODs with NAV installed. We tried NAV 2003, 2004 and 2005. They all cause BSODs sooner or later, and the files blamed by the BSOD all point to some Symantec component.
