Any suggestions? NAV uses an algorithm that tries to find as yet unknown malware. Other AV-software will check in their database whether any known malware is found in the file being scanned. On the one hand, NAV declares that this is highly-advanced and makes your PC safer than ever, because you have protection from a new virus even before it has been identified and an antidot written. However, it also means that NAV catches perfectly good software by mistake, and that is no good at all.
