Symantec have long taken the view that it is not safe to install NAV on
an infected machine. Unfortunately, although the installer will scan for
the presence of viruses I do not recall that it will offer to disinfect
your files.

simply saying which virus it thinks is there would often times be
enough - then a dedicated removal tool could be used...
