Re: Is NAV 2004 Worth it?
Im using a free trial of 2004 and it seems pretty good at the moment. Found a couple of virus's and got rid of them quickly and without any further problems. I have previously used NAV 2003 and can't really see the difference. As long as the virus definitions are updated there really isn't any need to upgrade the software. Well, not in my eyes anyways!!

Re: Is NAV 2004 Worth it?
You can get the OEM version (i.e. just official CD with no manual or box) with a 1 year cd key from Ebay for 18.99.
And this is Norton Internet Security so this inlcudes Norton Personal Firewall AND Norton Anti-Virus, anti-spam etc.
Seems like quite a good deal.
E.g.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...682326005&rd=1
BTW - this is NOT me  Just in case your wondering.

Re: Is NAV 2004 Worth it?
A big yes. The interface of NAV 2004 is completely different and it does not change any seen settings in Outlook or Outlook Express, as 2001/2 NAV 04 is great, see if a local computer shop is selling the OEM version as itâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s a lot cheaper. I picked up Norton Internet Security 2004 that has NAV 04 included the spam filter at default settings does itâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s job really well and gets 98.9 of all the spam, now its been running for two weeks it only lets a few through and itâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s dead easy to use. Again try to get the OEM version at about £36.00 the boxed version with a nice big yellow book £49.99 not worth the extra money as the information is on the web.  I give it 9/10

Ok I'm always open to knowledage and I know enough about computers to be realy dangerous, me I would dump Norton if Dr Solomans was still about but they sold out to McAffe and I did stay with them for two years, but their scan seemed to slow my system down and it would stop working while it was scanning for a virus in the days of a AMD 500 with 32mb of RAM and Gig drives we could only dream of.
The Dr Solomans project was our last hope for Virus free PCs in our time.... It failed.... (Dramatic instrumental music) but in the year of the Virus wars it became something greater, our last and best hope for victory... The year is 2004, the system is Norton NAV you have arrived.

Well, I recently switched to NAV2004 from McAfee. No particular reason apart from my McAfee licence is due to expire in the next month, and due to a system failure, I had to re-install XP and when I tried to re-install McAfee, it installed but then couldn't run because one of the DLLs was being corrupted.
And, according to Norton, there is no virus on my system.

Re: Is NAV 2004 Worth it?
i used to use nav2002, but after getting mcAfee 8 free from the uni i noticed how much is absorbed resources like a sponge, NAV always seemed to take an age to start for me.
mcafee wasnt that great though, now i am using BitDefender Professional 7.2. is great, virus scan and basic firewall all in one

Re: Is NAV 2004 Worth it?
I always had no complaints about NAV 2004 (see my earlier post) until recently when my system would lock up for about 5 seconds at a time. In Task Manager I could see that something gobbling my CPU's resources but could not identify what it was. I took the chance on it being NAV and uninstalled it, replacing it with NIS 2002. Since then, no freezing and everything has run smoothly.

Re: Is NAV 2004 Worth it?
I used to use NAV 2004, took forever to load up and used loads of disk activity up. Got my update CD from Microsoft, included a free 1 year trial of EZ Anti-Virus and EZ Fire Wall, installed the Anti-Virus and left the fire wall, unistalled NAV 2004 and got a huge performance increase . Even though EZ AV only uses about 2mb of my memory, it's fast as hell. Faster than NAV, and faster at scanning when requested. Updates are much smaller aswell, about 1.3mb for a virus definition update. So I wouldn't bother with NAV 2004
