To the best of my understanding, your problem of NAV will per- sist even if you password protect lilo. This will come up be- cause every time NAV runs, it sees an alien MBR. The solution would be to achieve dual boot through loadlin, in which case the MBR would be M$, and NAV would not have any complaints. OR change to some other anti-virus (e.g. McAfee). For details on how to do a loadlin dual boot using config.sys, you may have a look at http://geocities.com/usmbish/hdi.html. Regarding password under lilo see man lilo.conf and the README file in lilo documents.
