It wasn't NAV that found the trojans it was my local computer repair shop
that found and removed them, they are the ones that disabled the System
Restore when I advised them that they disabled it, they tell me they have to,
to keep them from coming back???? I just wonder if this is why I cant
download IE6 from the critical updates as well. Well I will re-enable the
System Restore and try that but should I disable NAV from msconfig or just
disable from the icons on the screen? thank you for all your help
