1. In the last three weeks, NAV has popped up stating it has
intercepted a possible Virus - Trojan Byte? - but for three years previous I
have received no such notifications. Could this sudden "flurry" be due to my
subscription coming to term?

Sounds like Java/ByteVerify exploit, AKA Trojan.ByteVerify.

-Go to your control panel
-(if in windows XP change over to the classic mode by clicking the link on the left just under your toolbars)
-Open Java Plug-in
-Click on the Cache tab
-Click clear
-To stop this from happening again uncheck the enable cacheing


This should clear all of these viruses right off of your computer and stop this from happening again.

Also advise scanning with NAV per http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=5878.

Before installing a new AV app, be certain NAV is completely uninstalled. What version are you currently running?

For replacement AV, I can recommend AVG Free or Pro, Avast, Kaspersky, Panda as well as RAV. *Anything's* better than Norton or McAfee. Steer clear of these two like the plague.
