I must say, that after hearing such great things about avast, that I am extremely disappointed to find out that the program will not work correct if norton antivirus/systemworks is installed.
Heck just searching for ‘norton’ returns 42 pages of results.
Many of the posts are full of FUD recommending complete uninstallation of NAV in order to get avast to work correctly… however its amazing that NAV works correctly even if avast is installed but simply disabled.
I think its unacceptable to require ‘uninstallation’ of a competing product when simply disabling it should be sufficient. I am not going to go thru the hassle of trying to uninstall a perfectly working nav (which is part of my systemworks) just to (fully) try out avast.
So, consider this a lost customer post, because I refuse to support software which does not play nice with other software.
And please, don’t repeat the countless posts about multiple AV conflicting, yes I know there may be conflicts if both are ACTIVE at the same time, however disabling one should sufficient.
If you can’t design it to work correctly with NAV (or any other AV) installed but disabled, I guess thats too bad for your company and too bad for your lost potential customers.
