In this situation you can not do it. Because NAV warning comes while you boot in windows. That time window in full control to do whatever it wants with HDD. So no lilo protection is going to save you. Better you tell NAV that this is sane MBR and accept as standard. I think there is an option to do that. And disable any BIOS antivirus checks. They are good for nothing.. And there is one more man page on lilo. man lilo.conf.
