HI Ben> Just FYI, I run Norton AV 2002 8.07.17c with Norton AntiVirus
> Auto Protect Service disabled from services and in MSCONFIG, and
> navapw32 and cfgwiz disabled in Startup also in MSCONFIG.
Same version as me. Atm NAV is shown as 'manual' rather than disabled in services and current status is 'stopped'. Navapw32 is not disabled in startup and I don't have cfgwiz listed anywhere. If pasting acars.exe direct into ..\windows\system32 doesn't fix things I'll try changing my services and startups settings to match yours and see what happens then. Out of interest, with NAV set up as per your settings, does NAV automatically check incoming email for viruses?
