But WHY would you want to? I loaded AVG (after suggestions of others on this board) and AVG found 18 (yea I said EIGHTEEN) that NAV missed (I mannaged to clean ALL of them with AVG) . As a result I uninstalled NAV and now my system runs a LOT better and doesn't use as much system resources (boots faster)/ doesn't hang.

Is this the "full" OEM/lite version (ie does it include 12 months virus updates or does it just come with the 90day updates, that most preloaded versions come with)?

texref - (or any one else who knows)
I have a question. My T42P has NAV2004, with 90 days of updates. I also have 2 other PCs. 1 has Trend Micro PC Cillin, and the other has McAfee.
I will have to decide soon on how to udate the AV on all 3.

AVG sound good, but it only mentions support of Microsoft Outlook as a mail client. I use Outlook Express, and Lotus Notes. I believe that NAV has Notes support. My question is does it matter if the email client is supported, or will the other programs like AVG catch the viruses anyway?

Right now I am considering trying the free stuff if I can use it on all 3 pcs.
My other option is that Tren Micro offers a pretty cheap 4pc deal IIRC.

Any opinions?

I use Outlook Express as an email client and it also has a plug in for it (after the install there's NO icon but it does say "Launch AVG" on the task bar so I assume that it works with Outlook Express. I'm not sure about Lotus Notes though.

I got a copy of Symantec Antivirus 9 Corporate...much better/faster/lightweight than the non-corporate editions

I agree, corporate editions are usually a lot better than the stuff you can get in the store (IBM laptops vs others being a good example).

Outlook Express mail is supported providing you use the POP3 interface. Also from the User's Guide that comes with the download linked-to above:

Unsupported email programs Norton AntiVirus does not support the following email clients:
- IMAP
- AOL
- POP3s with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) See the online Help for more information about Secure Sockets Layer connections.
- Web-based email such as Hotmail and Yahoo!
- Lotus Notes

Symantec offers a separate product that supports Notes mail. (I'd be very surprised if any general AV package supports Notes mail.) In practice it probably doesn't matter since there are no viruses that attack Notes directly.
