I agree ... I am a loyal NAV user and have to say that 2k is the best.
This program is in a constant state of developement via the LiveUpdate
feature. LiveUpdate not only provides virus updates but also program
fixes. When NAV 2k first was release thaere was a problem with it
leaving the POP port open but was fixed rather quickly. I suggest you
go to www.grc.com and run a Shields up test and read about the NAV bug
fix in this area.

Source code is like Manure, if you spread it around things grow. If
you horde it it just smells bad.
