I'd add that even upgrading to the latest SAV engine build (10.0.2) the desktops are still buggy. One of the best utilities that Symantec has created: No-NAV Removes NAV/SAV completely when you've got a screwed up client (which happens ALL the TIME) that isn't getting updates and refuses to update, etc. Of course, do a search on Symantec's site and try find it! I've got a copy I'd be happy to share; just a simple batch script; saves a TON of time over manually removing all those reg. keys like I had to do dozens of times over the years until one kind Sym. techie told me about No-NAV. One of the other things I really like so far w/ NOD32 are the def update frequency; during my 30 day testing of the desktop it always updated daily and often 2x or even 3x a day!
