Never mind, I found it. It's a service which can be turned off. 8-) John W.

I have been working on my two XP systems today and have had to turn off the little monitor that warns me that the firewall / AV etc is not active AT LEAST 6 times in 4 hours. I go in and tell it that "yes I know" and for some reason it comes back again later. It seems that it returns whenever you do anything with NAV - install it, download updates etc. It has even turned the firewall back on a couple of times even though I have turned it off every time it does so. This is getting REALLY ANNOYING. Just LEAVE ME THE ^%$# ALONE!!! Can it somehow be completely and entirely deleted from the computer so that it just cannot be activated EVER? John W.
