I know a lot of people have problems with NAV, but I've never had a
bit of trouble with it... been using it for years. (Note: I only use
the virus protection, not the firewall, since I have a router between
me and the outside world.)


I haven't seen it work right since win 98 was released. Toss in live
update, and their other crap and it can double the boot time.


I had it working on my old ThinkPad T60 and on my wife's T61 (Vista
- ack!) but let the license expire. I had to re-install the OS on
the new one and never could get the NAV license sorted out. The
"free" 90day license wasn't worth wasting much time on (it took too
much time to get rid of it as it was).

I have a hardware firewall in the router also, but a software
firewall is a useful addition. ZA works really well, though it
worked even better when it was free. ;-)


It's still free, for personal use. I've put it on three computers so
far, this week. The people getting the computers are thrilled to get a
working computer for free, and not have to pay to keep the software up
to date.
