very easy to do this. bring up your norton antivirus program, go to
"options", the first system preference that opens should be "system..auto
protect". take the check mark out of the top to entries..."enable auto
protect (recommended)", and "start auto protect when windows starts up
(recommended)"... and click OK.
this will stop norton antivirus from running untill you double click your
icon and start it again....!!!! but keep in mind that this leaves you wide
open to virus attacks. taking these two check marks out of play stops
protecting your computer and believe me, this is a risky thing!!!!
there is one other way, but you need to be careful here. open your start
menu, click the "run" link. type in "msconfig", (without the quotations).
when the SYSTEM UTILTIES CONFIGURATION box pops up, go to the STARTUP tab,
look for Norton Anti-virus, and take the check mark out of it. if its not in
there, click on the SERVICES tab, and find NORTON ANTI VIRUS there, and take
the check mark out. (you can see, in the services tab area under "status",
that norton anti virus is either "running" or "stopped". and it would only be
stopped if you did the first thing i mentioned...taking the checkmarks out of
the norton antivirus options.) anyway, take the checkmark out, click apply,
ok, and then restart, (a restart or dont restart now box should come up.)
when your computer restarts, a system utilities box comes up telling you
there has been changes in the way your computer starts up. just put a check
mark in the little box and click ok, and your set.
SHOULD YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER PROGRAMS USING THIS SECOND METHOD, GO
BACK AND PUT THE CHECKMARK IN WHICHEVER ITEM YOU REMOVED IT FROM, IN SYSTEM
UTILITIES, AND FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURES AS WHEN YOU REMOVED IT.
the first way i mention is the easiest, safest, and most obvious way to stop
NAV from running.
hope this helps
