I would be interested in comparing it to other versions I have access to with clients' systems. I know SAV (Symantec Antiv***s) 8, uses about 5.9 - 6.0 mb of memory, from recent work on this client's network.

I still use the OLD version '95 of NAV v5.1!! Why? It consumes FAR LESS resources and memory, it will find the SAME malicious codes that newer versions will, and I've never had ANY problems with it AT ALL. I had nothing but problems with v2000, 2001, 2002; especially with them the 'email scanning' feature was MOST problematic. I don't see the point of it since all emails are scanned anyway with 'auto protect'.Of course anything running in the BG is going to consume RAM and resources, and of course when NAV is actively running a manual scan, it's going to be consuming more. So no, it is still consuming RAM and resources as long as it is 'active' or 'on'. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "scubic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> At 01:04 PM 01/19/2003 -0800, Ed wrote >Sandy, I stopped using both Norton and McAfee several years ago >because both of them are resource HOGS, especially Norton. >I use AVG6, (free VERSION) http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_downl.htm >It does a good job along with one's prudence and good sense of not >opening unknown attachments. >Of course there's lots of folks that think their system will self destruct >it they don't have one of these resource hogs installed. . . >Ed I have Norton Utilities installed--mostly for the times that I choose to use CleanSweep and maintenence features. Along with it is Norton AV, which I do use to keep my AV updates. However, the only thing I have running is Norton Autoprotect to check files. I do NOT have it checking all my email. It takes forever and a ton of resources to do that. I understand that using Norton in this way, it only uses resources when necessary for checking files. Is this correct? Sue
