NO No No!!!

Don't reinstall it. It's working fine now, but I've seen too many screwed
installations.
If you have NAV 2005, you should not be getting this message.
If you have NAV 2004, do a manual Live Update to get the applet that meshes
with Security Center.
If you have NAV 2003 or earlier, Symantec is not providing the update. You
can set Security Center's AV check to "I have AV software that I am
monitoring myself" and it won't bother you any more..
