We are a small company with 10 PC's all running MS XP, 98 & 2000. I uninstalled NAV & installed Avast pro 4. Two PC's work great, as in you can print emails & print from IE, BUT the other 8 PC's you can't. Also, I can no longer access windows updates or find IE explorer (to repair) in my "Add/Remove" utility.
I had to uninstall NAV for more than 20 computers: XP, Me, 98 and 2k.
I've installed for me and for friends avast!
I'm
absolutely sure that bad uninstallation of NAV is the problem in all system with a new antivirus program.
NAV is more difficult to get rid than a virus
avast! never stop me to have access to Windows Updates (the problem, sometimes, are pirated versions).
Problems in your system seem to be concerned to bad NAV uninstallation plus Registry Cleaners mistakes... but, of course, I could be wrong.
When is Avast going to admit that there is a problem, and if it is a problem with unistalling NAV, release a 'Tool' to run and clear the remaining bits that NAV have left behind.
This is a work for Symantec not for Alwil Company. Be logical... Admit what? That NAV is uninstalable?
MY MD is wanting me to unistall Avast and go back to NAV Plus the other nine users aren't convinced either that Avast is the better out of the two AND, How many of their friends they are going to tell about the problems we are having!!
Let your friends try to get help from Symantec technical support and you'll convince them where is the paradise
