That is the warning that comes from the Security Center of SP2 that the
AV does not appear to be up to date. It depends on the AV package
sending it a status message when asked. Norton were *very* slow in
providing this; there are updates on their Live Update for NAV 2003 and
2004 - they will not I understand be dong it for earlier versions. Not
that it really matters - the AV is still working, just that the Security
Center does not know
