Ya, because it's Norton (for a less cynical answer, see below).

When you install AVG, you should have an option on rather you wish to
install what it calls Resident Shield. This is a decent second scanner,
but if you're looking for a second opinion, try:
housecall.trendmicro.com (free online AV); Spybot S&D (from
www.safer-networking.org, and it's a free anti-spyware/adware tool);
Lavasoft AdAware (www.lavasoft.nu, a free anti-spyware/adware tool); and
finally; TDS3 (www.diamondcs.com.au, you can d/l a free 30 day trial
version). For all of these, make sure to get the latest updates, and I
hope you're able to resove this situation.

If it don't work, hit it.
If it still don't work, kick it.
If it works after that, than it doesn't matter if that helped, what's
important is it works.
>> Stay informed about: AVG installation when NAV installed ??
