NAV Auto-Protect is unable to start up! Can someone help?

Harley Babe · 11-23-2005, 08:56 AM

Turned on our computer yesterday morning and after it loaded a message on Norton Anitvirus popped up with this message.
"NAV Auto-Protect is unable to start and to restart computer". Did that and it's showing enabled and went through the steps to redo it at options and restarted again. No change. I don't have my original disk to NAV.
Can someone help.
Thanks, Harley Babe

I would suggest uninstalling NAV and installing one of these free Antivirus softwares as they do the same or better work and occupy less resources : AVG ( link provided below ) - Avast . And if this is not a simple Norton corruption you might be experiencing an infection. As it goes infections first target is the security centers and softwares. Please click on pre-hjt link provided below and follow the instructions for a clean up.

Regards and good luck.
